Events

Introduction

Our Years were punctuated by activity with family and friends. In this section, site visitors remember sock hops, proms, carnivals and other events that enriched the experience of growing up in Athens from 1951-1969. Examples include the 1958 Summer Youth Baseball Program (anchor photo) and the material contributed by Joe Friedl, such as the Ground Observer Corps Dinner at the Methodist Church, Wings and Posters. There's information about the Summer 1959 Baseball Program and the Boy Scouts National Jamboree in 1960.
