25th Reunion

DETAILS


 Jetboat group reservations are closed.

Please contact Hellgate Jetboat Excursions directly to get on the waiting list if interested in attending the 8/7 dinner cruise.  This is no guarantee you'll be able to purchase tickets directly from Hellgate, but it's your best shot at joining us at this time.  (541)479-7204 is the number, and if called, ask to be seated at dinner with the Medford Class of 85.

Schedule for the weekend of August 6th, 7th and 8th, 2010: 

Friday the 6th - Casual Friday night event.  To be held 7:00pm to 2:30am at 'THE DUGOUT' off Biddle Road, take Chevy Way (see map below) in Medford.  Formerly called The Cyber Center, this place is under new ownership.  

They will be opening it for us for a private party - at no charge to us for the space. Bars are 'no-host' and food will be available for purchase.  A retro game room, pool tables, golf simulator and XBox 360's will be available to us too!  

Saturday the 7th - 10am: Class photo at North Medford High School gymnasium by a professional photographer, followed by social time with pizza for sale by the NMHS Equestrian Club.  All proceeds from the pizza sales will go to the club.

A 2:30pm load time at North Medford High School is set for the air conditioned bus that will be taken by jetboat cruise attendees to Grants Pass.  The bus will drop off at the Hellgate office at approximately 3:30-3:45pm and return to NMHS by about 9:30pm.  

You are encouraged to bring a waterproof, lightweight jackets, and/or a bag that can be waterproofed for your valuables. NO HATS as they are blown off and they don't retrieve 'em!   Ziploc bags would wonderfully inside a backpack for wallets, cameras and other items, but Hellgate is not responsible for lost or damaged items, so they encourage you not to bring them at all.    

A gratuity for your meal is part of your ticket cost, but it is encouraged that you tip your boat pilot at the end of the trip.  The Reunion Committee will be giving the pilot a gratuity, however if you would like to do so for either the pilot or your meal servers - it's always appreciated - they work hard for your fun.  **Ticket costs include the cost of the boat trip, all-you-can-eat dinner and beer/wine, meal gratuity, and the bus trip. 

NOTE: if you have heart, back or other medical conditions, consult your physician prior to making reservations.  This trip will be wet and the boats do fast 360 degree spins coming and going from the OK Corral.  Boat speeds reach up to 45 mph.


- JETBOAT TICKET SALES ARE CLOSED -   

Sunday the 8th -  Family Picnic 10:00am to 2pm, at Frohmeyer Park at the corner of Spring and Springbrook in Medford. A mellow way to round out the weekend and a chance to visit with friends and family.

The Reunion Committee will be providing soft drinks, and cake.

** Please bring a picnic lunch for you and your family. Also, please bring your own lawn chairs and shade if needed.
