I thought it was so good we should review it and Andy agreed. The group is also collecting and posting photos from past decades on the Facebook page in the hopes that folks will say вЂњI remember thatвЂќ and choose to come up for the reunion weekend.ДЇor more information visit /killingtonreunionweekend.When Andy & I started TNB four years ago (merely as a tax write-off) it was supposed to be a site covering only New England punk, metal and hardcore.Д«ut one day we received a CD from a New York band called Life Fast Die Fast. вЂњAll activity and energy around that weekend is good,вЂќ said Bauer. The group of local вЂњold-timersвЂќ have started a Facebook page for the event, called Killington Reunion Weekend, and they welcome everyone to post promotions or events for the weekend. вЂњIt is not Summit Lodge event, but a community eventвЂ¦ we hope many more businesses choose to get involved by hosting throwback bands, discounts on food or lodging, other events, or absolutely anything anyone wants to do.вЂќ

but вЂњthis is not a sanctioned weekend,вЂќ Bauer emphasized. There will be a welcome party at Summit Lodge Friday evening, tentatively scheduled for 5-8 p.m. вЂњWe are a competitive group even at our age, we just canвЂ™t do all we used to,вЂќ he said. OвЂ™Brien hopes to include a game night with darts, poker and the like, during the celebration weekend. вЂњSome are now doctors, lawyers, business people running large corporations, teachersвЂ¦ they could be doing anything now, but they were here then and they remember,вЂќ he said. The common bond of memories unites the otherwise diverse group, OвЂ™Brien said. вЂњThis will be like a reunion, similar to school reunions, where old friends will get together to share stories with folks who were here and remember,вЂќ Bauer explained. Folks come to live and work for a couple of seasons, maybe spending an average of 3-5 years here, Bauer guessed. It is, for the most part, a transient community - like most resort towns. Over the past 56 years since Killington Resort opened, thousands have once called Killington their home. вЂњI like to call it the вЂwe ainвЂ™t dead yet weekendвЂ™вЂ¦ letвЂ™s see if we canвЂ™t get folks together while weвЂ™re still alive,вЂќ he added. вЂњLook at the turnout we had for funerals last year,вЂќ said Oke OвЂ™Brien, who works at the Inn at Long Trail. The idea for a reunion came about after locals saw many friends become reunited at memorial services over the years. вЂњAfter much encouragement we decided to get it off the ground this summerвЂ¦ we hope it will turn into an annual event.вЂќ вЂњItвЂ™s an idea weвЂ™ve been tossing around for years,вЂќ said Bill Bauer, owner of the Summit Lodge.
