The 2010 Rattler Reunion will be held on August 5-7. The Class of 1980 is hosting the event themed “Forever Young, For-ever Rattler.”

“We are hoping for a good turnout this year,” said Martin Encinias-Angel, president of the Tucumcari Alumni Association. “Economic-wise, it is hard to determine if that is possible”

Encinias-Angel said this annual event is the largest school reunion in the state, which covers 50 years of classes.

Every year the 30th year class gets to choose the themes and is in charge of the decorating, Angel said.
