Hip Reunion Happenings
A Supposed Schedule of Stuff
This schedule has been cobbled from events posted on the official Carleton
Reunion site (which were shamelessly copied and pasted below), emails from
other classmates, notes on scraps of paper, and vague recollections. It's not
meant to be the final word on Stuff To Do that weekend, but should be an
indicator for some of the items of interest that are planned.
If you think of anything else that you know of and that have been
unreasonably censored from this list, let us know and
we'll add them on. (Note, however, that tours of the Hormel plant in
Austin, Minnesota have been knowingly axed from this schedule, as they do not
meat requirements for reunion-sponsored activities).
(Note: Items specifically for our class are in bold. Additions by the
editor are in italics.)

Revue" activity |
