Virgil I. Grissom Memorial, Inc. release
Galactic Gathering 2020

This day will be a chance of a life time for all space enthusiasts, with special return appearances from Mark Brown, Tony England, Kevin Ford, Charlie Walker, and David Wolf. In addition, we are excited to announce that we will also be welcoming new comer, Serena Aunon-Chancellor.

Various events will be offered, for a cost, at the breathtaking West Baden Dome, as well as the historic city of Mitchell. The proceeds for this event go to Virgil I. Grissom Memorial, Inc. which is dedicated to restore and preserve the legacy of astronaut, Gus Grissom.

From Steve Grissom (via Facebook):
It is with a heavy heart I am announcing that the 2020 Galactic Gathering is being cancelled due to COVID-19. We simply cannot risk the health and safety of the men and women coming in as our VIPs nor can we risk spreading COVID-19 to everyone in attendance and our wonderful community who has supported our ventures.

If you paid for tickets via credit card you will be getting refunded the same way so be looking for a credit in the days and weeks to come.
