The Thanksgiving Vigil

We suspect everyone has gotten back to their normal schedule after Thanksgiving (and a GREAT Chiefs Victory!). As promised, we’re back to more regular posting!

A great tradition over the years (as we’re sure it is in other areas) is the “Thanksgiving Vigil.” The Thanksgiving Vigil is when everyone who has come home for Turkey Day gathers up at a local watering hole and catch up with former classmates and relatives the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving.

The Board of Governors at Stanhope State sent out their photographer and correspondents to one of the more happening spots last Wednesday, the NEW Jewell Golf & Country Clubhouse. There we found a couple hundred people getting an early start on spreading some holiday cheer and jamming on the karaoke machine. In attendance were old classmates, cousins, former teachers and members of our favorite rock ‘n roll band, 2 Feet Deep!

Our photographer and correspondents reported a lot of Stanhope State fans who have visited our humble site, and to them we give you all a huge Watermelon Warrior shout out.

A special thanks to Stanhope State Board Member, Garren Zanker, for getting this great pic of the scene last Wednesday night.
