For those of you interested in attending the festivities starting this weekend, here is some information taken from the Vandenberg site.
After years of planning, the sinking of USNS Gen. S Hoyt Vandenberg will finally become a reality! This is your chance to become a part of this exciting moment in history by participating in the many celebrations planned in the weeks to come.
There will be a series of events starting this Sunday May 17th with a kick-off cocktail party at the Harry S. Truman Little Whitehouse on Whitehead Street from 5 pm until 8 pm. All are welcome to join and the $10 admission fee includes hor’dourves and rum punch as well as a silent auction.
Next, on Monday, May 18th at 8 pm, come and enjoy live entertainment by the Ohio based ARK band at the Island Dogs Bar at 505 Front Street. This band featuring native St. Lucian brothers has their own style of Reggae blending Soca and Calypso beats with their repertoire of original and cover material.
