Plans are in place for the first-ever Franklin High School (FHS) Alumni Weekend on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 7, 8, and 9. In celebration of the 45th anniversary of our graduation from Franklin High School, the Class of 1970 invites all alumni to the best reunion ever to “Visit, Reminisce, Explore – A Weekend to Remember.”

The FHS Alumni Weekend is open to all former FHS attendees and staff members. All events are taking place in Franklin as we hope area residents and those from afar will discover something new and fun right here in our old hometown.

The weekend events will begin on Friday, August 7, at 7 PM with a performance at the Franklin Opera House. The Rock Island Blues Revue will present a comedy/music tribute to The Blues Brothers. On Saturday at 9 AM there will be a nine-hole scramble golf tourney at Mojolaki Country Club; a Family Scavenger Hunt beginning at 10 AM at Toad Hall; and the “Main Event”: food, dancing, luminaria ceremony, and fireworks under the tent at the Veterans Memorial Ski Area. Sunday morning the Franklin Outing Club is sponsoring a pancake breakfast at the Ski Area,  and alumni are encouraged to gather in the afternoon at Webster Lake to relax and continue reminiscing as the weekend comes to a close.

Registration materials, which include the schedule and payment options, are available at SAU18.org/fsd_alumni.cfm.
