The ninth annual Community Wide Reunion is only a month away.
The list of classes planning to attend is growing and the event could be larger than the 2022 reunion weekend.
Debra Clifford, the city of Fallon’s executive secretary organizing the reunion, said almost 20 classes have signed up for the reunion, which is Aug. 18-19 at Oats Park. The following classes have indicated they will be in attendance: 1950s, 1963, 1966, 1967, 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1979, 1982, 1983, 1984 and 2003.
Fallon Mayor Ken Tedford will recognize the class of 1963 which is celebrating its 60th anniversary.
The reunion committee said the weekend is not only for former Greenwave students but also for teachers, parents and friends. They are invited to the two-day event beginning with an opening night free concert at the Fallon Theatre. Music will be provided by Acoustic Alignment and Steven Christie and friends.
Friday night is also a time for the classes to meet for dinner or another group activity. Others plan to have breakfast together on one of the mornings.
A breakfast for the Greenwave community at the Oats Park Art Center’s Lariat Courtyard kicks off Saturday’s activities. The main day for reunion activities is from 8-10 a.m. In front of the arts center will be a show ‘n shine car show with antique tractors.
During the day, tours and activities are scheduled for the Churchill County Museum, the Old High School, Oats Park Arts Center, the Douglass House, the Old Post Office, Cottage School, Frey Ranch, Fallon Police Department and the Fallon-Churchill Volunteer Fire Department. She said Mayor Ken Tedford will offer tours of the Fallon City Hall.
Classes will begin arriving at Oats Park later that afternoon, and the Greenwave Hall of Fame, which will be selling T-shirts and both Greenwave Hall of Famer and regular HOF stickers, is inducting its sixth class in early October. Food vendors will also sell food and beer and wine, while the classes may bring their own food.
Blair Crimmins & The Hookers appear Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. in a free performance on the Centennial Stage. Crimmins began his current music career in Atlanta with a determination to bring Ragtime and 1920s style Dixieland Jazz to new audiences.
A multi-instrumentalist and music academic, Crimmins writes songs and arrangements for a classic New Orleans style horn section consisting of trumpet, clarinet and trombone.
