Map of Georgia with Columbus marked with a star

The 2020 Dingler Family Reunion will be in Columbus, Georgia, from July 17-19. This year will mark the 41st consecutive year of these reunions, and we thought it was time to return to Georgia. We will be meeting in Columbus for the first time, and we hope to see all of you there.

I’ll talk about things to do in Columbus in a later post, but for now I want to cover the information about booking your hotel room. Our group is staying at the Homewood Suites by Hilton in Columbus. This is an all-suite hotel, and our room block contains both King suites ($99 + tax) and Double Queen suites ($109 + tax). These rates are also good for Thursday night if you plan to arrive early.

You can book your room online by going to the Dingler Family Reunion page or by entering Group Code DFR (for Dingler Family Reunion in your search on the Hilton website. You can also call the hotel directly to book your room, just be sure to ask for the Dingler Family Reunion rate (rate code DFR). The hotel address and phone number are:

Beechwood Restaurant and Lounge logoThe 2019 Dingler Family Reunion dinner will be held at the Beechwood Restaurant & Lounge in Vicksburg. We will meet at the restaurant at 5 PM on Saturday, July 20. We will be using our usual playbook where you will order off the menu and be responsible for your own check.

The Beechwood Restaurant & Lounge (4451 Clay St, Vicksburg, MS 39183) has been a Vicksburg favorite since 1956. We’re looking forward to seeing all y’all there for an evening of good food and family.

We have selected the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Vicksburg as our host hotel for the 2019 reunion, July 19-21, 2019. A block of rooms at discounted rates is now available to book. To book your room or rooms, call the hotel directly at 601-634-8777 and let them know you are booking a room for the Dingler Family Reunion. It is very important that you ask for the reunion rate because we need to have at least 20 rooms booked for the meeting room charge to be waived.
