Details and Information

Saturday, September 27, 2025

• There is no actual ticket needed for the reunion gatherings. We used the word “ticket” loosely in our promotions, so don’t worry, we have a list of all paid attendees, and will have name tags for everyone, with your choice of red or gray lanyard too! 

• On Saturday, we have planned a tour of the FHS campus at noon, so please gather at the front entrance to FHS at 11:45am. Our tour will be graciously guided by Diana Story. Diana is an Assistant Principal, a graduate of FHS, and a long-time teacher/staff member. We can’t think of a better tour guide to show us the changes and improvements.   So much has changed on campus since we attended, so be prepared to be amazed.

• Our reunion is from 6:00pm - 10:00pm at the Marshall Ruritan Club located at 8400 Salem Avenue in Marshall. Your admission includes activities, heavy hors d’oeuvres, drink tickets, photo booth pictures and time with your classmates.  

• We have made a CHANGE in the alcohol offered at the reunion. You will now be issued drink tickets when you arrive, to redeem for your drinks as part of your admission. This change is due to the complex laws around liquor sales and taxation.  The award winning wine and beer selection will be provided by Barrel Oak Winery and Brewery, and we have covered the cost for the service. 

• As an attendee, you will receive two tickets (real paper tickets) for wine/beer, which you can exchange for these beverages at no charge. (If you would like to help cover this additional expense, we will accept small donations to help defray the cost, but this certainly is not required. Originally wine was to be purchased by glass or bottle by the attendees. We can absorb the cost of wine and beer, but we would like to have a little money saved for the next reunion, preventing out-of-pocket expense for the planners in the future. We were fortunate to have some from 2016 for the initial deposits to the hall and caterer, and we want to carry it forward if we can.)  

Sunday, September 28, 2025

• On Sunday, we are planning an informal get-together at Barrel Oak Winery, where ALL are invited. Bring your family, and show them how cool you were when we were younger. Barrel Oak is located at 3623 Grove Lane, in Delaplane,  about 3 1/2 miles west of Marshall Ruritan Hall. We have not reserved specific space nor set a specific time, but the winery is open for all from 11AM until 7PM, and is quite a large venue.  The winery information is available at barreloak.com

• During your time at the reunion Saturday evening, talk with your friends and pick a time to gather at Barrel Oak on Sunday.  And if you like the wine or beer at the reunion, and wish you could take some home, don’t despair - you will have an opportunity to taste and purchase any of their wines and beer on Sunday. 

• Bonus: I’m sure you’ll run into other classmates while there too!

• Lastly, we do NOT plan to publish a reunion book, nor share attendee contact information, because of privacy concerns some people have. If you wish to share your contact information with others, take a few minutes to write or print a few copies to give to your long-lost friends. 

• We also plan on using a cloud-based photo-sharing tool.  You will not need to download anything, and a QR code will be posted so you can share your photos (by choice) taken with your phones. These photos, along with those from the photo booth will be posted on FHS-Reunion.com just like the ones from 2016. Once posted on the website, you will be able to download any you wish to keep.
