The New Canaan High School Class of 1979 is gearing up for a milestone reunion, celebrating 45 years since their graduation. The main event will take place on October 12, 2024, from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM, at the Carriage Barn in Waveny Park, located at 681 South Avenue. This event promises a nostalgic evening of reminiscing and rekindling lifelong friendships.
In the year the Class of ‘79 graduated, gasoline was just 86 cents a gallon, “My Sharona” by The Knack topped the charts, and Jimmy Carter held the presidency. This reunion offers an opportunity to celebrate both old memories and new milestones with fellow classmates in a beautiful and historic setting.
The reunion weekend features a range of additional activities and events organized by the reunion committee to ensure a memorable experience for all attendees. The festivities kick off with the ever-popular Friday night gathering at Gates, a cherished tradition that promises an evening of fun and reconnecting.
With no Rams football game scheduled for that weekend, Saturday’s itinerary is packed with diverse activities. Enthusiasts can enjoy a spirited game of pickleball, explore the architectural marvels of the Glass House and Grace Farms, and visit the special exhibit “Celebrate New Canaan” at the New Canaan Museum & Historical Society. These activities provide a perfect blend of physical activity, cultural enrichment, and local history.
The reunion committee is diligently working to reach out to all classmates, sending invitations and registration details via email within the next week. Class members are encouraged to check their inboxes, including junk and spam folders, to ensure they receive the information. Those who do not receive the email can access all necessary details on the class website: NCHS1979.com.
This reunion is a wonderful occasion for the Class of ‘79 to come together, share stories, and create new memories. The Carriage Barn’s scenic location, combined with a thoughtfully planned weekend of events, ensures a memorable and enjoyable experience for all attendees. For further details and to stay updated on reunion plans, classmates are encouraged to visit the official reunion website.
