Banquet FAQ's
The Reunion Banquet takes place on Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Governor’s Gun Club in Kennesaw, GA. The event is being held in the Banquet Room, which has its own entrance. Cocktails start at 6:00 p.m. and the evening will wrap up at 10:00 p.m.
Unfortunately, we cannot sell tickets at the door. We must give the facility the exact headcount of attendees two weeks before the Banquet. So, for that reason, we cannot sell tickets at the door.
The suggested attire is business casual to semi-formal. So, feel free to dress up as much as you like!
Yes. The bar is located in the Banquet Room, so you won’t miss a thing when you need a refill. The bar serves wine, mixed drinks, bottled beer, and has several draft beers on tap. The bar accepts cash as well as debit/credit cards.
