The Reunion 2011 Details page is now available. All the information you need to make hotel reservations and plan your visit to Chattanooga is there. We will continue to update that page as new information becomes available.
Yes, in fact it IS the Chattanooga Choo Choo. And it will be pulling into the station with the Dingler Family Reunion onboard!
When Eufaula turned out to not be available for 2011, we decided to move it back to 2012, and find a new host city. We cast our gaze northwards (but not too far north) and landed just past the Georgia border in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
If you haven’t been to Chattanooga, it is in a scenic area, nestled on the banks of the Tennessee River. It is easily accessible, at the meeting point of three interstates, and filled to the brim with things to do and see. This won’t be the farthest north we’ve been (that would be Mountain View, Arkansas), but it will be our first reunion in Tennessee.
I’ll post details about the hotel arrangements and how you can book your room later today. I’ll also send out an email to everyone on the mailing list who has an email address on record. We’re only 113 days away, so time to start making plans!
At the 2010 reunion, we decided to look at holding the next reunion at Lakepoint Resort State Park in Eufaula, Alabama. We looked into this option after we returned hom from Mobile, but they were already sold out for our weekend in 2011.
We waited and checked again after the new year to see if they had any cancellations, but there was no change. As a result we will not be going to Eufaula for the 2011 reunion. We are working with them, to secure our weekend in 2012, so we will still go there, just a year later than planned.
We are looking at proposals from hotels in a few locations, and as soon as we have something confirmed, we’ll be posting the info here and sending out an email.
Steve Coburn passed along word of his mother’s death on July 28. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve and the rest of his family.
