The upcoming Reunion 2016 event is growing into much more than a high school reunion, as it has now become a family-oriented reunion with those who have had connections with the City of Weyburn.
The Reunion 2016 will be held July 28 to August 1. According to most recent information from their website, there are now 1,152 people who are registered for the event.
“In looking at the names of the people on the Facebook page, we noticed some very common names to Weyburn,” said Bryan Onstad, one of the Reunion 2016 organizers.
The list includes 24 Andersons, 22 Giroux, 21 Johnstons, 21 McLeods, 20 Schmidt, 19 Bell, 18 Hill, 17 Sidloski, 16 Neuberger, 16 Maas, 16 Wagner, 14 Hillstead, 14 Williams, 14 McFadden, and 14 Looses.
“Family is one of the themes for Reunion 2016 as the City of Weyburn will be hosting a ‘Movie in the Park’ at Jubilee Park on July 29,” said Onstad.
There will be a family pool party at the Weyburn Pool on July 31.
Trenna Keating, Weyburn Comp alumni who graduated in 1996, and a Canadian actress who appeared in such shows as Defiance, Schitt’s Creek, and Murdoch’s Mysteries, will be helping to host the Friday night show.
“I’m looking so forward to attending the Reunion 2016,” said Keating. “To have an event like this that includes such a large group of people and lets us celebrate our school, our friendships (past and present) and our Weyburn community is tremendously exciting. I can’t wait to come home!”
The Friday and Saturday Reunion 2016 events will be held at the Weyburn Comprehensive and Cugnet Centre. Then on Sunday, featured events include a family pool party at the Weyburn pool and a golf tournament at the Weyburn Golf Course.
To purchase tickets, residents can go online to reunion2016.com or to Superior Office in Weyburn.
