For the “Reunion Event”, I chose the facilities at Calhoun Community College. Though it will be close to exceeding the capacity of people that are to attend, it has a gorgeous ballroom area. This will allow for the stage that will display musical entertainment. There is room for a dance floor and a front patio for a lovely dining experience for the guests.  The dining area overlooks a lovely mountain view. The entertainment chosen for this event is the Zach Brown band because they are very popular locally. The guest will be able to dance and enjoy the band. The whole atmosphere should be semi-formal with a hometown feel.  With the catered food from a local gourmet restaurant, the event will provide a wonderful experience for all who attend.
