1987 Coon Rapids 30 year Class Reunion

A few more pictures....

Thank you classmates for an outstanding event!!!! Please tag this page if you can with your pictures. It was delightful to see all of you. Thank you for coming.

In the words kinda from Bob Seger..(Not from a song from 1987) .....
Here we go ...on the road again
. here we go.....turn the page. ...

See ya in 10 years!!!!!

What a wonderfully memorable night! Thank you to everyone who came! Tag yourselves!!

A few reminders for this evening... Don't worry about the weather!
Bring a little cash - we are going to have a raffle and there is a cash bar if you don't like beer or wine.

EEEE - We just can't wait to see you.

TONIGHT! IT IS TONIGHT! In honor of our evening tonight ... Here are new cheesy lyrics to the song by Jefferson Starship "Nothing's Going to Stop Us Now." (AND THE LAST time you will get a song worm for your brain from our page!)

"Looking at the list we see a paradise
This world to reconnect
Is it too good to be true
Standing at the check-in table
Want so much to check you in
This anticipation that we are feeling to see you

Let 'em say we're crazy, we don't care it has been 30 years
Put your name on the list
Don't worry
Let your cares disappear
We will be together, class of 1987"

I was going to change the lyrics to the song "Tomorrow" from Annie for your brain worm song today but it is an awful melody to have in your head and I didn't want y'all to pick on me tomorrow.

TOMORROW is IT! TOMORROW is the DAY!
Our reunion is tomorrow.

There is still time to get your ticket on line.

We are calling it! TOMORROW NIGHT (Friday, Sept 15) we are having a pre-reunion get-together for ANYONE who wants to show up. Nothing formal and no special accommodations have been made. It will be at W***y McCoys in Andover. 13655 Martin St NW, Andover, MN 55304. Let's say we can start showing at 6:00 until whenever. PLEASE SHARE!!! (I called and warned them that we are coming! ha ha)

OK. The number of places seems to be growing so we are going to pick one of these 3 so please vote (hit LIKE) again for ONLY 1 of these 3...

Hello C**n Rapids friends! Some of us class of 1987 folks are chatting about the possibility of meeting up Friday night for a pre-reunion get together! There are some coming from out of town who would love to maximize their time here visiting with old friends. We thought it would be fun to throw the invite out there to anyone else who would like to join in the fun. Since we were undecided about where to meet that would be most conducive to the most people possible, we wanted to set up a poll. Please click like on your choice from the options in the comments below or feel free to suggest a place! The most "likes" wins! I'm looking forward to seeing you all who can make it for the extra festivities if not Saturday night! :) Please share this!

A little 1987 trivia: When Billy Idol's cover of Tommy James and the Shondells' song Mony Mony reached #1 on the charts in 1987, it dethroned Tiffany's I Think We're Alone Now, which was also a cover of a Tommy James and the Shondells song.

While, thankfully, NEITHER of these songs should be sung at our reunion on Saturday, I figured y'all needed some brain candy to nibble on today. Show of hands... how many of you have sung the chorus in your head for either of these songs? tee hee

SEE YOU SATURDAY! There still is time to get tickets!

One more post today... did you see the TWINS game last night? They set a new record for a major league team. The Twins are the first team to have home runs in 7 consecutive innings in a 9 inning game.

(Stay on the band wagon class mates ... 1987 was a great year!!!!)
