The Shadow
The Watson High School Alumni Association is planning its 16th annual school reunion, scheduled for July 5-7, for the alumni and descendants of Watson Elementary School and Watson High School.
The kickoff will begin at the Jeter Watson Center, located at 515 E. Pine St. in Covington, at 9 a.m. Friday with registration. Events that day will also include a fish fry, line dancing classes at the Watson Center, and a “meet and greet” at the Historic Masonic Theater in Clifton Forge, in the Under-ground Lounge and Café.
On Saturday morning, everyone is urged to come to the Jeter Watson Center where lots of vendors will be on site. There will also be more line dancing classes, as well as a display of memorabilia in the designated Watson Alumni room.
Saturday’s activities will also include a dinner and dance at the Historic Masonic Theatre’s West-Rock Ballroom. Everyone is cordially invited to attend, but especially the descendants of the Watson alumni.
