HURRICANE WARNING... CAT 5 HURRICANE ... CRAIGHEAD CO. IN ARKANSAS..

Yep, I've been getting calls for the last two days from people coming in for the Reunion. So, If you are still on the fence about coming then here is a big kick to the fence. COME ON!!!!!
• Hurricane flags will be flown on the top of the press box
• The band and the students will sit on the visitor side
• In recent years the students have a designated section at the basketball games they call the "Dog Pound", they want the student section at the football games to be called the "Storm Cellar" ;-)
• They are looking for a storm siren to crank out during the game
• The welcome reception is at The RidgePointe Country Club until 11:30
• Downtown Jonesboro is Open Late and guess what... It's Quite "Wet".
• Saturday is full of different events and things to do with the big PARTY at the CHURCH STREET STATION beginning at 7:00 pm.

SEE YOU THERE :-)
