CVN 70 Reunion 2024
HONORING OUR EARLIEST BEGINNINGS - TO CELEBRATING OUR STORIED HISTORY TOGETHER, DURING A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE!
Join your fellow Carl Vinson crewmates for this lifetime event, as we gather ALL Hands to meet and reunite our crew after all this time apart! It is past time to assemble an event our CVN70 family has been yearning for, as many attempts were thwarted during the last few years. Let's replenish our spirits, renew friendships, and cast off our lines from shore to start off the series of milestone celebrations approaching on our horizon!
What better way, in true Navy tradition, than to throw our biggest "Drink to the Foam" party yet! Come enjoy some southern Texas hospitality in Pipe Creek - a small rural community chompin' at the bit to host "America's Favorite Carrier" - before, during and after the rare celestial event of a Total Solar Eclipse taking place Monday April 8, 2024. If you have never experienced a Solar Eclipse, you won't want to miss this opportunity...because the next one to hit American soil won't be until 2044!
DID SOMEONE SAY "MUSIC FESTIVAL"?!! Yesssss!
Yes! You heard right! What better way to utilize 3,000+ acres of private property that local Pipe Creek families have offered to us as our location for CVN70 Reunion 2024! How could we say No to this generous offer! The local wildlife & cattle are just going to have to share their grazing pastures with us for a short spell. Just imagine...our Crewmates - family & invited guests enjoying food, beverage & some of the most sought after musical & comedy entertainers ALL just for US! This is an "Invitation Only" private event!
CAMPING, GLAMPING & MORE
So with over 3,000+ acres for RV and Tent camping available on-site, you and your family & invited guests will have more room than just a "coffin rack" & half locker to spread out and enjoy yourselves! Shower trailers will be on-site too - for those that need them - you know who you are!
No more cramming as many sailors into a Hong Kong hotel room as you can to save money either! Now, if you wish to live large and book a hotel room in the City of Bandera, we will have a (sometimes limited) supply of "in-door camping" options available too.
In order to accommodate those of us who are traveling by air to Texas, plans are in the works with major "Sporting Goods" retailers to be on-site to sell you discounted tents, cots, air mattresses and limited other camping supplies. Customized Ice chests will be for discounted purchase as well.
If you choose to leave those gently used items behind, we are partnering with national nonprofits that will accept your donations to supply multiple veteran's focused charities so that they can accommodate more of our fellow veterans in the outdoors for individual or group trips. It's a Win - Win for all!
Supporting local & veteran charities is just Standard Operating Procedure in our neck of the woods. Period.
As hosted guests in Bandera County Texas, we believe in supporting Rural Economic Development both locally and the small home-based businesses that our fellow Vinson family members own & operate. Our first choice is to hire local nonprofit groups to supply the services our music festival is dependent on. From shower facilities to ice delivery to trash & recycling - we are committed to supporting a community that has welcomed us from day one! Shop our CVN70 Crafters Marketplace for Gold Eagle treasures you just can't go home without!
I'd LOVE to come! This is awesome!... - Marilyn Richards ABE3 1998-2001
