Dear Bowen Family Member

It is with great joy and anticipation that we invite you to the Golden 50th Anniversary of the Bowen Family Reunion – 1976–2026, “A Legacy That Never Dies.” This milestone gathering will be held July 9–12, 2026 in The Twin Cities - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, hosted at the JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America.

Fifty years ago, our family began this tradition in Chicago, and together we have carried it across the country. Now, we return to Minnesota to honor our past, celebrate our present, and prepare the next generation to carry the Bowen legacy forward.

With love and anticipation,
The Minnesota Reunion Committee
