Other Activities
A family picnic could be held at a park in the afternoon. You’ll need to call the “Park and Rec” to “rent” a space/shelter – 218.332.5806.

If people want to golf, they can either set up their own tee times or you could reserve a block of tee times by calling Pebble Lake Golf Course at 218.736.7404.

Tours could be taken of the Roosevelt Education Center/Community Arena (the old high school), Cleveland Elementary and/or Kennedy Secondary School (the old middle school). Most tours take place on the Saturday morning of your reunion weekend at 10:00 am and need to be arranged ahead of time.

A visit to the Prairie Wetlands might be fun – 218.998.4480 for their hours or to arrange a tour. Or a walking tour of downtown – contact Chris Schuelke at the Otter Tail County Historical Museum 218.736.6038.

Miscellaneous
Nametags could be made at Tag-Up, handwritten or on the computer. Some classes put yearbook pictures on them.

Some classes invite teachers.

A list of your missing classmates can be put in the Daily Journal along with reunion details.

Mindy can put all reunion information, registration forms, etc… on the Foundation’s website. If you know the dates and any general information about your reunion, that can go in our winter newsletter (sent out in November).

Memorabilia can be borrowed from the Foundation if interested.

Mindy will be around to take pictures and they will be posted on the website after the reunion.

Address, phone and email updates should be given to Mindy when the reunion is over. Whatever spreadsheet your class has been working off of is great. (It’s helpful if the updates are done in a different font or color.)

The Chamber of Commerce offers a bag full of Fergus Falls info/news/coupons. You’ll have to assemble them yourselves and they need 2 weeks notice. Contact Lisa Workman at 218.736.6951.
