Places to Have It
Putters Bar and Grill (Golf Course) – Most popular these days for Friday or Saturday – just recently built a nice, big deck on the south side; contact Brenda at (218) 739-4014;
Eagles (upstairs) – (218) 739-2523
Bigwood Event Center – good for large numbers of people; (218) 739-2211
VFW – Not as popular and they always have a Friday night meal; (218) 739-2697
Mabel Murphy’s (Friday night social) – not a lot of room; (218) 739-4406
Elks Point – the entire space is now enclosed; (218) 736-4292

Food
The buffet is popular at the golf course and they have a great selection of food to choose from.  They can also do a sit-down meal.

The Bigwood can do a sit-down, served meal.

Eagles would probably be a buffet.

Elks Point would most like be a grilled entrée with salads and fruit.

Mabel’s would be just hors d’oevures.

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) 739-3205.

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 High School, Cleveland, and possibly the new 6-12 building – depending on when the reunion is.

A visit to the Prairie Wetlands might be fun - (218) 736-0938 for their hours or to arrange a tour guide.  Or a walking tour of downtown – contact Chris Schulke 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 me when the reunion is over.  Whatever spreadsheet you have been working off of is fine.  (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.
