The weekend of September 30th and October. 1st, Olde Town Covington, Alleghany Highlands Genealogical Society and the Alleghany Historical Society will join forces with the City of Covington to celebrate the 110th birthday of Covington High School and the closing of CHS as they merge with Alleghany High School and CHS becomes Covington Middle School.
October 1st, OTC will be hosting an “all classes” reunion at Casey Field from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Lots of exciting events are being planned to start with former members of CHS playing and marching to “Onward Cougars” at Friday night’s football game. Get out that instrument and start practicing. All marching twirlers and flaggers, get on board.
We are planning a “picnic “environment for food. Bring your own lunch or, for you out-of-towners who don’t choose to pack a lunch, we will have local food trucks available. A good way to support our local economy. Handicap access will be made possible for those who have a need.
Put your dancing shoes on because we will be providing music from decades of school years. Maybe we will start with Glen Miller’s “In the Mood” – one of my favorites. To make it even more in keeping with the different generations, dig out those poodle skirts and white t-shirts or the clothes you wore. Nothing would be better than lots of letter sweaters and folks sporting the blue and gold colors.
VFW Post 1033 will be doing a short program to honor all veterans past and present. We have had a lot over the years. We salute them all.
