About Blowing Rock NC www.blowingrock.com

Blowing Rock is a small, beautiful town in the mountains of North Carolina about one hour and forty minutes from the big city of Charlotte.

Charlotte is the largest hub for US Airways if you need to fly and rent a car.

 

We will meet Thursday Night, May 1st at the Blowing Rock Grill to say hello.

 

Friday May 2nd 9:00 am at the American Legion Post in downtown Blowing Rock will be our big meeting with all family members invited. We have some great speakers lined up including General Tom Saddler a WWII, Korean and Viet Nam Veteran.  Also pastor Loran Livingston from Central Church of God in Charlotte NC. We also will have some local dignitaries and some more guest speakers. You are in for a real treat so please be on time or early to see all the displays and greet your fellow brothers. We will have two group photos made after our meeting: One of the troops and honorary members and one with all troops, family, and friends.

 

Our farewell dinner will be Saturday May 3rd at 5:30 pm at Canyons on the edge of town (a 4 minute drive by car, but too far to walk).

 

Blowing Rock has plenty of great restaurants and shops and a great outlet mall on the edge of town. This location will allow us to keep close together during our reunion.

 

We welcome the 20th Medical attachment to our group since we were all so close to the guys at the dispensary.

 

We have about 30 members and family attending for a total of around 55. This will be the biggest reunion yet.

The next closest town is Boone NC in case you can’t book a room in Blowing Rock. Check out the blowing rock web site for more hotel listings and area information.
