Reunion for the Ages 2020

Just a reminder that the Reunion for the Ages has been canceled for next weekend due to Covid. The good news is we have a new date. JULY 31st 2021. We are looking forward to seeing everyone next year. Stay safe and healthy everyone! And write that date in your calendars.

Ok we have some bad news for everyone. The Covid 19 has now struck our party down until 2021. We tried waiting as long as we could in hopes this virus would turn around. But after many conversations with the Mayor and the rules put for from the Governor we decided that we didn’t want to jeopardize anyone’s health at this time. Brian Tobin our mayor was very helpful and we tried to figure out what we could do but with only the number 50 as in the number of people allowed at a time together there was no way we could pack in 500 to 800 people together without risk. We are truly saddened that we couldn’t pull this off and knew so many of you were looking forward to the party as we were. So we will be making another date for next year and hopefully they will get a handle on this crap. Please help us out and spread the bad news. The 2020 Reunion for the Ages is now officially cancelled until 2021. If any questions you can call 6073454196.

Here’s one oh my favorite photos of all time with Linda and Gary getting they’re guitars 🎸 that we all signed in 2016. WRECKLY started this and we continued it the 2018 party. Both these 2 wonderful people that we love are doing wonderful. Reunion for the Ages 2020 is going 2 be a lot of fun.

Here the earliest days of Gerry Contento, WRECKLY Jankee, and myself Andy Moore(Agnes on the tickets) parties were use 2 throw together. Than in 2016 we decided to start it back up as The Reunion for the Ages. Check out the prices. Remember Junior and I driving the huge Ben Ardito beer 🍺 truck up Cold Brick road filled with kegs laughing our asses off!I was 17 and Junior was 16. CRAZY. Wreckly would bring the bands up and play every year. So now we are back at it and 2020 is going 2 be one 2 remember.

Ok than grab some popcorn 🍿 or a snickers bar and here we go.The count down has begun. It’s officially 186 days before the historic 2020 And last Reunion for the Ages party. This is absolutely Not a political party! First I want 2 again thank everyone who help make the 2018 party a wonderfully fun and memorable event! So this time ( write this down on your calendars) it July 25th! The Port Watson mini conference center is BOOKED for us. Wonderful owners, great location and set up. All the tents are booked, The one and only Big Cat John Lloyd the magical sound man is booked! The bands are falling into place, only so many spots. We had OVER 600 guess last time, not really sure how many different classes of CHS attended. We had 3 different class reunions plan their reunions around our party last time. Had 10 bands for many different years of CHS grads playing and Homer high as well. That’s the same number we will have this year, dropping a couple adding a couple. The BIG NEWS is Wreckly Lamar Jankee is making his one and only comeback on our stage!!!🙌🙌🙌 This is one you can’t miss! My pal is putting on the weight and muscle and is overly eager 2 get back on the stage and just get that crowd bouncing again. Guys looking good, heard rumors he’s getting ready 2 kick Connor McGregors ass down the road!😂😂 After the last show without him we were ready 2 hang the party up, but now we are determined 2 make it the biggest and best show the city has ever seen, Next 2 2018 of coarse. We want 2 thank the mayor again for helping us out ( Brian Tobin) in dedicating the day as The Official WRECKLY J LAMAR JANKEE day in Cortland and bestowed a key 2 the city 2 him. We will never forget this and how wonderful and lucky we Cortland residents having such a caring mayor. The man has always got our vote! And we want 2 thank everyone that came out 2 help the three individuals that we donate the proceeds 2 that were undergoing their own battles. We ended up losing one last year😔 my dear friend Tom Hartnett and just about all of your buddy too. He really truly enjoyed the day and was ear 2 ear with a smile on his face when we presented him with the guitar autograph by all of us. By the way Wreckly started that 2 years before with Gary Schmidt and Linda Stoker. We loved Harv and miss him dearly. So we don’t have anymore yet that we know of that needs our assistance ( thank god) but if you have heard of anyone feel free 2 drop Wreckly, Otto or myself a line. So now Wreckly wants 2 get deeply involved in this after missing the last one so he’s going 2 be involved with a lot of the bands. We went through 15 kegs of beer, 3 kegs of wine. Sacrificed many chickens, flipped pounds and pounds of Berger and sausage. Ate pans of Chris Contento’s secret recipe beans and danced the night away all for a good time. Laura Presioso one of our three last year is doing fine and looking forward 2 helping out this year. Sarah Williamson is enjoy her beautiful daughters and loving husband. And this year it’s the class of 1975s reunion and they’re all coming 2 the show that weekend. Any other classes are more than welcome 2 plan their reunion around our party is more than welcome. The three classes last time had a ball. So, take a deep breath,,,, so the class of 75 has the WRECKLY Js with Neno Mironti Mike the hammer Fiske is flying his band in from Texas. Good thing u make a lot of money 💰 Mike. Ed Maseo is coming up from Florida 2 sit in. Rick Starmer with brother Mike. And thinking Tom Gath will be strummed. Billy Strong will be putting a hurting on some pigskins with his band. Dave Salce will be hanging with someone. Now I’ve added Ron Starmer and his band. Otto and Steve Francis will be breaking some eardrums. George Clancy and his band. Robby Petrella and the Hurting Units are on board and Bobcat will be sliding around stage with his merry men. And the list has a couple more. We will get into that later once Wreckly completes the tour. So I’m telling ya make your reservations at the motels this is going 2 be epic and THE LAST ONE! A lot of work, insurances, beer trucks, NYS liquor license, noise permits, portapoties, dumpsters, food posters and so Much more. We are shooting for 1000 this time. So don’t you dare miss this one, ask anyone that attended one of the last 2 just how much fun they had for a good cause. Just doing this is a lot of work, I’m sure I’ve missed s**t but we will be keeping everyone informed in the future. And yes Homer friends are always welcome. So the Return of WRECKLY J Lamar is at hand! Hope 2 see ya in 168 days from now. The countdown has begun for the 2020 Reunion for the Ages.
