OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

PINE KNOT FALL FIBERGLASS FESTIVAL

CAMP TONKAWA SPRINGS

NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TEXAS

OCTOBER 4, 5, & 6, 2007

Folks, The second was better than the first, so we are planning PINEKNOT-III. It will be held October 4-5-6, 2007, at Camp Tonkawa Springs in Northern Nacogdoches County, Texas--  www.camptonkawa.com/index.html. This event is open to all fiberglass travel trailers, regardless of manufacturer.

This appealing RV Resort is located deep in the beautiful pine forest of East Texas, about fifteen miles North of Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas-- www.visitnacogdoches.org. The park has an interesting history which you can read on its website. Although it is not fancy, it has many amenities. There is a covered picnic pavilion, as well as a clean, comfortable recreation building that will be for our exclusive use. Their group rate will still be $17.00—and the same rate will apply to anyone in our group, whether you come for one night of the rally or come several days early and stay days later. (Sorry, but there is no cable TV. You’ll be having too much fun to want that, anyway).

Make your reservations directly with Camp Tonkawa Springs. The mailing address is 4675 County Road 153, Garrison, TX 75946. Telephone 936-564-8888. Tell them you are registering with the “fiberglass trailer group.” They have blocked 40 sites for us and will add more if needed. The park is not extremely large, although they have hosted rallies with as many as 75 units.

October is usually a most pleasant month in this part of Texas. The high heat and humidity of Summer will have passed, to be replaced with comfortably warm days and cool evenings and nights. The Fall colors may not be showing at this time, but the grass will still be green.

We want this to be a fun event. We already have some quality entertainment lined up. We have a Dutch Oven demo already planned, as well as potlucks, horseshoe tournament, swap table, plus informative seminars related to traveling and tailering. Trooper John H of the Texas Department of Public Safety has agreed to lead a discussion on safe driving and trailering, and to brush us up on Texas traffic laws. An excellent local band will entertain on Saturday night. Also, we are planning a group luncheon at a local restaurant.

There will be no registration fee to attend this rally! The price of your campsite is all it will cost you. We do ask though that you notify us when you make your reservation with the park. Tell us who you are and who will be coming with you, your hometown, and the make, model and year of your trailer.
