Fall Festival 2009

Join us during the weekend of September 18–20, 2009, for the Bethany Fall Festival. This fun for all ages event includes Family Weekend and Alumni Reunions (those alumni who graduated in a calendar year ending in a “4” or “9” will celebrate). All alumni and friends are invited to be part of the weekend. Those attending will enjoy great events like Arts on the Green, Theatre Physics, and Vikings soccer and volleyball contests. Alumni won’t want to miss the alumni speakers or the reunion reception with hors d’oeuvres.

Come for a day or come for the weekend—you’ll have a great time and enjoy being back at Bethany during a special time of year. We’ll see you in September for a weekend full of memories and fun.

Stop by the information booth to pick up a schedule of events and sign the alumni guestbook. We look forward to seeing you!
