Welcome Home, Raiders — Alumni Weekend is Here

Veblen, SD · May 24, 2026

The morning air is heavy with the scent of damp earth and lilacs. It’s a quiet Sunday, but the extra cars on the street tell us the holiday visitors have arrived.

📰 The Lead

Veblen-Rosholt alumni are trickling back into town this weekend, turning local porches and cafes into hubs for storytelling. While the school year has officially wound down, the "Raider" spirit is arguably at its peak today as former students from across the decades return to their roots. These informal class reunions are the lifeblood of the holiday weekend, filling the gaps between official Memorial Day observances. You’ll likely see groups gathering at the park or the local locker to stock up for backyard barbecues. It is a weekend for looking back at old yearbooks and seeing how much has changed—and how much has stayed exactly the same.
