Katie Miskel
Miskel encouraged all alumni to visit the Frisco Center on Friday or Saturday morning, even those who live locally and those who have pre-registered.
“Quite a few of the businesses in downtown Clinton are offering big storewide discounts to alumni this weekend, and when you check in at the Frisco Center you’ll get a packet that includes a gold bracelet,” said Miskel. “Anyone with one of the bracelets can get the discounts. 
“If you plan on doing any shopping at all over the weekend, it will be well worth checking in, for the bracelet and for a list of all the businesses offering the discounts.” 
In addition to the special discount bracelet, registration entitles alumni to a list of individual class parties.
Miskel said registration packets will also include information about class photos and any remaining appointment slots available at Blakeburn Studios.
