Reunion is OVER!! The memories live on!! It's over. It happened. Beavers rocked at mini-reunions all over town on Friday. An estimated 2200 Beavers filled the Rawhide Pavilion Saturday evening. Seven hundred Beavers, husbands, wives, kiddie Beavers and friends continued Beaver Bash 2000 celebrations at the PERA Club in Scottsdale. Water balloon toss was a splash. October 6-8, 2000 Well, Folks, you don't get much
closer than this. Updated 10 pm Sunday the day after the Grand Reunion and the day
of the Grand Picnic. Best regards,
And be sure to check out this web site for the latest Beaver News as we move into the new century. More class reunions to come in 2001, 2002 and 2003. Mini Reunion Special Report The classes of 67 to 72, and maybe some earlier, and maybe some later, rocked the night away Friday at the Coast, a popular Scottsdale night spot. An estimated 250 Beavers packed the Coast from stem to stern and overflowed into the street. Host and owner Butch Logan ('69) provided his own, special concoction, the Beaver Shooter, comprised of secret ingredients and lovingly hand-crafted. Squeals of "Oh my gosh!" and "I can't believe it's you!!" punctuated the evening. As the night rolled on, garage band players from the 70's treated the partygoers to tunes from decades past. The more or less well-behaved Beavers required only one visit by the local Police to complete the evening.

Information Reunion Highlights Orange and black balloons decorated the cavernous Rawhide Pavilion Saturday evening as thousands of Beavers spanning six decades poured in. Long rows of tables organized the party goers by year with over half of the space occupied by the 70's and 80's. There were souvenirs to be purchased, door prizes, several bands, photographers, great food and drink, but the greatest entertainment of all came from socializing with fellow Beavers. Groups of Beavers gathered throughout the pavilion and conversation was continuous throughout the eight hour celebration. Special awards were made to many of the 42 strong reunion committee headed by Mary Keltner ('60). Special guests were also present including Rachel Ochoa who's newspaper report on the fate of Beaver alumni sparked the creation of this web site. Celebrity including the Blues Brothers and Tina Turner entertained the crowd all the evening providing music from the 50's through the 80's. Beavers spilled out on to the dance floor and grooved with the tunes. All in all a good time. Well, there's more to come with the Beaver Picnic tomorrow, er, today, er, that is, last Sunday at high noon. More reporting later. (later....) Picnic Highlights Everybody loves a picnic and today was no exception. Food, games and beautiful Scottsdale weather combined to cap off the Beaver Bash 2000 celebrations. Over 700 Beavers and family members enjoyed the sunshine, hot dogs and an outstanding band Sunday afternoon at the PERA Club in Scottsdale. A highlight of the festivities was the presentation of a $12,000 check to the Scottsdale Historical Society from proceeds raised at the Saturday night reunion event. Well done Beavers!! Ken Brown, Connie and Jim Reynolds, thanks, it was real!! Mary Keltner, get some sleep!! October 6-8, 2000 The crowd went wild:
Get Ready for Beaver Bash 2023. (you think I'm kidding?)
