Attention Montrose Alumni. If you class is planning on getting together to celebrate during the 2021 Memorial Day Weekend Festivities, please contact David at 492-7749 and give him a heads up. If your class is planning on getting together at the dinner after the parade for the Chicken Dinner, please contact him by May 14. They will attempt to reserve tables so classes can sit together, as best they can. They plan to have go orders and additional sitting outside for those still wishing to social distance or just enjoy the sunny day (THEY HOPE). VFW Post 8820 will serve cold beverages and Old Crow Winery will be serving wine under the 40 x 60 tent. So plan your day to eat, drink and be merry.
