Reed College Centennial Celebration

On September 24th Reed College is hosting a Community Day-

It starts with a 5k Odyssey Run- around the college and a pancake feed.

Mid- morning there is a kid’s festival in the Quad with carnival games, face painting, balloon artist, climbing wall, and a bouncy castle.

Starting at 11am there is a series of tours and events including a stunt kite demonstration, and tours of the canyon, reactor, art gallery, and an architecture tour of the campus. At this same time there is a Reed rugby match on the upper sports field.

Mid-Day on the Commons Patio there is the Portland Taiko drummers, Reed student dancers, a pet-parade, and the Patrick Lamb Band playing at 1pm.

Make sure not to miss the Orchard Dedication- at 2pm in the Reed Orchard- *East end of the canyon nearest 37th street from Steele Blvd.

Participants in the orchard will be able to enjoy the sounds of our local bluegrass band, and the sips of fresh pressed cider from our newly released bike-powered fruit squeezer.

Near 2:30pm join President Colin Diver in planting the ‘centennial tree’ and be apart of Reed’s history- we need your help planting this historic tree- and your petal power to crush these apples-

This day of celebration concludes with a movie on the front lawn and a massive fireworks show over the West parking lot.

Everybody is welcome and encouraged to bring friends and family.

See you there!
