Olney Grange Hall hosts reunion
Submitted Photo
On April 23, the Olney Grange Hall Reunion attracted about 70 attendees, including past Olney Teens, Olney School classmates, grangers and friends. The hall was decorated with the
traditional Olney Teen streamers and balloons. Scrapbooks were on display, as well as photos of longtime Olney families, the original Olney town by the cement bridge, logging and
Olney School class pictures. The afternoon was comprised of lots of conversation, a potluck lunch, then dancing to favorites of days gone by. Attendees came from as far away as
Colorado and Idaho, and three of the original Olney Teens were in attendance: Alice Jessen Campbell (Colorado), Margaret White Stedronsky (Sublimity) and Arnold Tolonen (Vernonia).
