Planning underway for November’s ‘Come Home, Auburn’ event

Aug. 12019

AUBURN – The city of Auburn, Auburn School Department and the city’s 150th Committee are spreading the word about “Come Home, Auburn” — a special alumni weekend to be held Friday Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 1 through 3, as part of the city’s Sesquicentennial Celebration.
“Come Home, Auburn” will be the fourth signature event in Auburn’s efforts to commemorate the city’s 150th year. Previous events include the first ever “New Year’s Auburn,” a city-wide birthday party held in February, and the recent Memorial Day Celebration, boasting a two-hour parade, “Art in the Park” art show and much more.
Highlights of “Come Home, Auburn” will include:
Friday — The “Battle of the Bridge” – Edward Little High School vs. Lewiston High School – Football Game at Walton Field.
Saturday — Various alumni games and gatherings throughout the day, including a ceremony for the unveiling of the Bell Tower in Anniversary Park and a huge alumni reunion at Lost Valley.
Sunday — Family Fun Day at Edward Little High School, complete with a Family 5K and Kids Zone, as well as tours and presentations on the new Edward Little High School project.
All alumni of Edward Little High School — and anyone with an affinity for the school, its graduates and the city itself — are invited home for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration. The 150th Committee is seeking assistance with this signature event. ELHS class officers and/or anyone wishing to volunteer should email auburn150@auburnmaine.gov or complete the volunteer form at www.auburn150.com.
