2024 Reunion Highlights:
The Ballard Class of 2004 celebrated a festive 20th reunion in early November 2024. A full weekend of activities was held starting with a tour of Ballard and football game tailgate. A gathering was held at Manhattan Project and a great time was had by all!! Thanks to Brittany Gowers Abdelahad and the rest of the reunion committee for a fabulous time!
The Ballard Class of 1974 had a fantastic 50th Golden Reunion weekend full of great activities.
Sid Anderson contributed the following recap!
"Following torrential rains all day Friday, the clouds parted, and we enjoyed a beautiful evening at Captains Quarter. 180 classmates and significant others gathered to catch up on 50 years of living. As the evening wore on, descending darkness made facial recognition after 5 decades even more challenging; but large nametags enabled us to reconnect. On Saturday Dee & Shari Baron (Baron Racing Stable) hosted a wonderful time at Churchill Downs. An afternoon of relaxed talk, racing, and great food facilitated casual re-acquainting. The “Ballard Stakes” was a big hit, and 10 classmates visited the Winners Circle to present the trophy. Saturday night was elegant fun. Our Hotel Distil ballroom decorated by the team set the mood, a great DJ set the vibe, and a delicious dinner and drinks got us in the mood to party…which we did!"
A heartfelt thank you to the Class of '74 for sharing your reunion excitement and wonderful photos with us! It’s always inspiring to see Bruins reconnect and celebrate together. Your enthusiasm and spirit remind us of the lifelong bonds we share as a community. Here's to many more memories!
