The log cabin will be open throughout the event and will contain a collection of photos from years gone by for everyone to enjoy. Also located in the cabin will be a table dedicated to faculty and staff that have passed away since the last reunion in 2012.

Included at the table will be photo posters of those that have passed, as well as notebooks dedicated to each person. These notebooks will be provided for attendees to leave messages for the families and to share special memories.

The photos and notebooks will be presented to the families after the event.

Committee members will provide dessert in the log cabin from 5- 9 p.m. for all that care to partake. Coffee and hot chocolate will be provided, as well as other non-alcoholic beverages.

All musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments and engage in informal “jam sessions” throughout the event, if desired.

Anyone and everyone who was involved with Tryon schools from 1923 through the present are invited to attend. If you know of anyone who has not yet learned of the upcoming reunion, please pass along the invitation.
