Old Timers Reunion

The committee for the Winton Old Timers met today to plan the 48th annual reunion. It will be held September 28, 2008, the last Sunday of the month. Registration starts at 10:00 a.m. and lunch will be served at 1:00 p.m. This allows time for those wishing to attend church in the morning.
Tickets are $7.00 for adults and $4.00 for children under the age of 12.
Randy Heller, pictured above on the left, will again be in charge of the barbecue chicken. Also on the menu are baked beans, coleslaw, dinner rolls, beverages and desert.
Mike Crass will serve as MC. Those in attendance, 90 years or older will be honored with a special award to the oldest man and oldest woman. The person who traveled the farthest will also be honored.
We always have a good turn-out, people from out-of-town, out-of-state come to visit with friends they haven't seen in many years. No reservations are required. We never know from year to year who all will show up. Last year some locals who didn't go, were sorry to miss seeing out-of-state people. So, if you are a Wintonite or former Wintonite, please plan to attend.
The gathering will be at the Winton Middle School on Cypress Avenue, between Gertrude and Almond Avenue.
ALSO, bring your old pictures of Winton, people of Winton, etc. from the earliest days of Winton, up to 1975. They will be scanned into a computer while you wait and may be included in the next Winton history book.
The first Winton book, "Memories of Winton, 1911-1950" will be available for purchase at $35.00. A 530 page hardback book with 750 pictures. Many school pictures included.
