Fun and Fraternalism in the Lone Star State!

They say everything is bigger in Texas, and this year’s International Convention is no exception. The Fraternal Order of Eagles will be heading to the Hilton Anatole Hotel, August 8-13 in beautiful Dallas, Texas, for a week of incredible fraternal activities.

Rooms are available at the Anatole at a rate of $139/night++ with a $12/day resort fee for guests who would like to visit the JadeWaters park. The park features a family and children’s area, a 630 ft. lazy river, two water slides and a 7,000 sq. ft. beach entry pool.

Guests can relax at the Verandah Spa or dine at SER Steak & Spirits on the hotels top floor and enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city. The Media Bar & Grill is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner while Counter Offer provides gourmet grab-and-go items and snacks 24 hours a day. Those looking for a fun outing can take advantage of the Top Golf indoor golf simulator inside the hotel.

The Grand Aerie has a full slate of events planned with four days of educational classes in the afternoons and plenty of evening fun, capped off by the Tuesday Night Aerie & Auxiliary Banquet headlined by the Bacon Brothers Band featuring Kevin Bacon. Join us at the Welcome to Dallas Show Sunday night for blues rocker Mike Zito or enjoy the country sounds of Jenny Tolman for Monday night’s Auxiliary Ladies’ Night Out Banquet. Wednesday night, check out the best talents the F.O.E. has to offer in our annual Talent Show extravaganza and wrap up your week with our Annual Installation of Officers on Thursday night.

In between, you can visit many of the great Eagle-hosted Hospitality Rooms on site. Join us this summer in Dallas!

NOTE: The Hilton Anatole is a cashless hotel, but you can use the reverse ATM located inside the hotel to exchange cash for a prepaid card which can be used anywhere in the hotel.

Bacon Brothers Band

Aerie & Auxiliary Banquet

Tuesday, August 11

The Bacon Brothers have spent the better part of three decades exploring their own mix of folk, rock, soul, and country music. They call that diverse sound “forosoco,” and it’s taken them around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall.

The exploration continues with the band’s twelfth release, Ballad Of The Brothers. It’s a record that highlights not only the similarities between Kevin Bacon (known worldwide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael Bacon (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer), but the differences, too. The two siblings may be bound together by blood and a mutual love of American roots music, but they’ve grown into sharp songwriters and cinematic storytellers with their own distinct approaches. Ballad Of The Brothers makes room for both of those approaches, offering a mix of edgy alt-rock (“Take Off This Tattoo”), Motown-inspired soul (“Put Your HandUp”), fingerpicked folk (“Let That Be Enough”), and everything in between. The album also marks the continuation of a musical partnership that began long ago in Philadelphia, where the Bacons were raised on a soundtrack of 1970s singer/songwriters, Philly soul bands, and classic rock acts. Multiple decades and countless shows later, they’re creating their own soundtrack, saluting their old-school influences while making music that’s undeniably modern.
