“Remember back to the days of…” is a phrase you hear at a reunion.  Wilmont, MN is going to have an all area reunion on Saturday, July 28 at the VFW Hall in Wilmont.  Beginning with a potluck at 12:00 noon,  everyone is invited to come, sit and reminisce with fellow classmates, former neighbors, or would it be possible to talk to someone you don’t know?  “Two years ago we held a reunion like this,” explained Audrey Brake.  “200 people turned out and we had a great time.  We’re hoping for that many and maybe even more.”  Nothing is better than spending a day sharing your small town stories and memories.  “It’s different now,” Audrey said.  “Back when Wilmont had a school and people went uptown on Friday and Saturday nights, we had a bowling alley and  a theater.  We cherished our hometown.  Now it seems the ties are different, not quite as personal.”  So mark your calendar for July 28.  Come up to Wilmont, bring a dish to pass and get reacquainted with friends, some which are new and some that are old.  If you have any questions, please contact Nancy Vaske at 507-360-0112, or Audrey Brake at 507-360-1136.
