Birkenfelder Reunion Association

Next Reunion

Dates:  October 3-7, 2011

Place:  Laughlin, NV (90 miles south of Las Vegas on the Colorado River)

Hotel:  Harrah’s

Theme:  Octoberfest

Two daytime tours are planned. One will be a Colorado River tour on jet boats to Lake Havasu City to visit the London Bridge and Village. The other tour will be a bus ride to Hoover Dam and the new bridge that spans the Colorado River Gorge.

The Hoover Dam is a spectacular sight and the bridge is one of the world's greatest engineering feats. lf we pay attention on these tours, we'll probably learn how Nevada came to be home to the London Bridge and the Colorado River.
