...Preoccupied with 1985!

The July 4th weekend has become “Class Reunion” weekend in Ely, Nevada. Graduates from White Pine High School return to their hometown from their new homes all over the world. It’s a time to see old friends, visit family and take a trip down memory lane.

Some things haven’t changed much since we graduated... the mountains and skies are still beautiful, there are still only three stop lights and no traffic jams and no Wal-Marts, you can still see wildlife and wildflowers all over the hills.

But there are also many new things to see and do in the county. Come check out the new internationally famous murals on buildings all over Ely, have a milkshake at Economy Drug’s new 50's style fountain (yes they still serve the best tuna sandwiches), see the new facilities at Cave Lake and the Charcoal Ovens, or drive out to the Great Basin National Park and hike up to see the Bristlecone Pines (still among the worlds’ oldest living things!).

The new Great Basin Visitor Center will have a Grand Opening in Baker on July 4 weekend with Sen. Harry Reid making a dedication. There are lots of other events also that weekend... keep an eye on the WP Chamber of Commerce website for the latest events on the community calendar at www.whitepinechamber.com.

The Class of ‘85 Reunion Committee has squeezed in a couple of events during the weekend so we can all get together. The first will be a no-host cocktail party at 6 p.m. Saturday night at Grub’s Club in downtown Ely. We’ll have plenty hors d’oeuvres and lots of fun.
Then at 1 p.m. Sunday, we’re planning a big family picnic at Murry Summit.
We’ll have a class picture and tons of hamburgers, hot dogs and chorizos!

We’ve already heard that at least 30 families will be coming. But, so we know how many to plan for, PLEASE return the following registration form and
your payment to Nikki Barainca
NO LATER THAN JUNE 15, 2005.

If you will need hotel/motel rooms, please call to book them NOW! Believe it or not, we get a lot of out of town visitors now and we’ve already heard some places are booked...
