July 12-14, 2019
FRIDAY NIGHT BANQUET
The Alumni Committee has already booked our venue for the 120th Annual
Portville Alumni Banquet which will be held on Friday, July 12th, 2019, and
Heritage Day which will be held on Saturday, July 13th, 2019.
For the third year, our banquet will be held at the Event Center at Good
Times of Olean. We have been pleased with the accommodations that
West and Christine Long have provided. In case you do not know the
proprietors, West graduated from our alma mater in the Class of 1988.
Christine is from the Rochester area.
Good Times has a lot of activities in a very large complex. They have
bowling alleys, arcade games, mini-golf, volleyball pits, the Hammerback
Bar and Grill, The Point Restaurant for fine dining, and the Snak Shak for
quick, casual meals.
Due to the many positive comments that we received this year, the dinner
will probably be buffet-style again instead of a sit-down dinner. There was
a selection of beef, chicken, and pasta. Next year, as the banquet time
approaches, we will make the menu available on our banquet page.
Our Master of Ceremonies will be Honest Bob Fairbanks, class of 1960.
Bob is a real entertainer with his anecdotes and jokes. We appreciate him
taking time out from his car racing schedule to be with us. We will
present the Hall of Fame awards during the business meeting. The HOF
Committee does a great job of acknowledging our community leaders.
This year, the banquet ended about 8:50 p.m., a new record! This allows
alumni to get back to Portville for the American Legion street dance for the
rest of the evening.
HERITAGE DAY
Come on down to Portville for our annual Heritage Day festivities on
Saturday in Pioneer Memorial Park. There are always fun things to do
there, things to buy, people to see, food to eat, etc.
Portville Alumni will have a large tent to provide seating with shade if it's
sunny and protection from an occasional sprinkle of rain if it's not. We are
set up from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and usually located near the food
vendors.
For the adventuresome types, Extreme Sportsman Preston Van Curen will
guide the Alumni Kayakers down the Allegheny River again this year. The
route is from Mill Grove bridge to the Steam Valley bridge launch site at
Linn Landing. Many thanks to Mr. Wimpy Swetland, who provides the river
access in Mill Grove.
We will gather at the bandstand (or gazebo, if you prefer) for our annual
alumni group photo. Here is the gang that showed up last year (2017).
For more information on 2019 events, go to our Calendar of Events page.
You will also find the reservation form for the Banquet and a registration
form for our Kayaking event as we get closer to the events. For a recap on
last year's banquet and Heritage Day, follow this link to our 2017 page.
