On a frigid April evening, Saturday the 12th, the Huron High Alumni did their zany thing - threw a beach party!
Despite the seasonally uncomfortable weather, a remarkable number of people attended the event that has funded scholarships for Huron seniors in its sixth year now.
Though chilly outside, indoors the Lake Erie Country Club steamed as dancers thoroughly enjoyed their first party of the season. The evening began with a pizza buffet provided by six of the community's houses: Cameo, Danny Boy's, Domino's, Huron Pizza House, Jim's Pizza Box, and the Sand Bar. Partiers wolfed down dozens of pizzas and mountains of salads.
Master of revels was Steve Brownell, a guitar-slinging singer, who eased back into an oversized beach seat, kicked off his shoes, and played requests for almost four hours. His repertoire included favorites from the '50's onward, most done in the style and voice of the original artists.
On behalf of the students who will receive their scholarships, the Alumni Association wishes to thank, in addition to Steve, all those who braved the elements to let loose for an evening in support of a worthy cause. Thank you, also, to Nancy Bickley who supplied a basket of LOREAL goodies for the grand door prize.
Extra special thanks to the many members who volunteered their time to plan the event, sell the tickets, and decorate the hall. Almost like the old prom days . . . everyone working together, but without the pressures of fancy limos, tuxes, and the nearly gown-less evening straps! See you all next season for number seven!
