Directors of the Columbia Heritage Foundation have been busy at work making plans for this year’s annual multi-class reunion at Heritage Hall. Anyone who attended classes at Columbia High School in West Columbia, Texas, or even if you didn’t go to school at CHS but still want to party with the rest of us who did, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 3, 2026. Like the Steely Dan song says, we’re getting ready to “Do It Again!”
For those graduates of Columbia High, regardless of what year you graduated, who want to get their tickets early, you can do so. If you want to buy tickets in person, go to Madeline’s Boutique in downtown West Columbia or ask Tracy Gupton, Clara Gallemore Dannhaus or any of the Heritage Foundation board members. They are available for purchase now!
Amber and the Rascals will be providing music to dance to or just for your listening pleasure if you don’t feel like showing off your dance moves. The chicken fried steak dinner will be provided by On the River restaurant of Freeport at this year’s Roughneck Blowout. And we will have our usual live auction, silent auction and online auction to help raise money to keep the old junior high school gym, auditorium and adjoining buildings up and running. The Columbia Heritage Foundation was formed with the goal of saving our old school from the wrecking ball. And we have been doing a pretty good job of it, if we don’t say so ourselves! But we can’t do it without you, our fellow former Columbia High School and junior high classmates. We are hoping for a big turnout at the October 3rd Blowout multi-class reunion.
Help us spread the word and make plans now to have your 2026 class reunions with us at Heritage Hall on October 3rd. Tickets will be $50 each if purchased in advance ($60 if bought at the door the night of the event). You can buy your reunion tickets online by hovering your cell phone camera over the QR code below, or get them in person at Madeline’s Boutique or from any of the Columbia Heritage Foundation board members listed here:
Karen Mostyn, president; Cindy Saville, vice president; Judy Tomlin, secretary; Tracy Gupton, treasurer; Laurie Kincannon, Betty Jo Mosley, Janel Trahan McCallister, Billy Jenn, Clara Gallemore Dannhaus, Brenda Hobbins Henderson, Lee Ann Johnson, Linda Anderson, Sandy Schroller Cook, Peggy Lou Boone or Jo Frances Chastain.
Can’t wait to get together with all the other former Roughnecks on Saturday, October 3rd!
