“The reunion far exceeded my expectations on every level,” said reunion coordinator Theresa Dube. “There were approximately 100 people in attendance, which meant a lot of planning went into the reunion, as it covered a span of 27 years.”
Photo albums and memorabilia were displayed during this historic event. These scrapbooks and trophies are now on display at the Nylander Museum until August 8th then they will be moved to the Caribou Historical Society for the following month. There is a scrapbook for each decade that C.Y.O. was active and then there is one of the History of the Holy Rosary Church, beginning when it was a mission in the late 1800’s until 1987. Everyone is welcome to look at this display and check out all of the scrapbooks.
