In 'Double Trouble' you have to get the ball in one hole so it can go through a tunnel to get to the lower level where the "real" hole is.

Events already being discussed include day events at the former high school where McKenzie-Smith Bennett is located, a dance aod the possibility of a pa- le. All committee members have been sending former students who live out of town information and trying to track others. To help in the search they also have a tveb- site and E-mail and will be having booths at the Leathertown Festival and at the Fall Fair.
