Although the Astros lost, everyone enjoyed the all-you-can-eat dinner of hot dogs, nachos, soda, and other stadium food, as well as the opportunity to reconnect with fellow alumni. Guests also shared their Cedarville memories with an incoming student who attended the event. “I think it’s wonderful that Cedarville stays connected with its alumni!” shared Cheryl (Deinum) Riggle ’93. “It speaks volumes about the investment Cedarville wants to make in its students — not just when they’re on campus but for a lifetime.” Thank you to Beth Prentice ’79, Katherine (Witmer) Williams ’02, and Ann Felix ’08 for helping to organize the event!
