"Raccoon Lake" Hoosier Chapter Gathering May 2009

[bobhenry]

have been looking for a grill guess Wal Mart is on my shopping list

[bobhenry]

As we get a little closer I'm thinking of making a trip to the station in person to see if that will help push them. Maybe take in a photo album of past gatherings to show them what they have to look forward to when they visit us.

I was directing most of the channel 13 info to Tim Bush. He seems to chase "off the wall things". I know we would be a good segment and generate a lot more intrest in our little hobby.

"Tree Boy" would be perfect for our hobby. His email address is [email protected].

Maybe we could have several of us send him information and pictures. We should have an organized approach if we do so that we look "sane" to him.

What do you all think about this approach?

Scott, I think that's a great idea. Would it help if more than one of us went to visit him. I could do it along with you if you think it would help.

Maybe more than one representative would show how serious the hobby has become.

Bob, your "genius" and creativity abounds. Why don't we have a "camp in" in the WTHR parking lot to plead our case. We might end up in jail but the publicity and public awareness would be fantastic.

Looks like there are plenty of parking lots.

Here is the write up I sent last year

[url] I have been involved in a strange little hobby that is growing daily. The world of Teardrop trailers. We will have a collection of commecial and home built trailers that will gather in Brown County May 16th thru the 18th. To date we have 26 confirmed reservations and are hopeing for 35 to 38 total. We will be in the buffalo ridge electric camp area of the Brown County State park. We feel our little hobby may be of interest to many of your viewers / readers. For a little research background I would recommend the web site "Teardrops and tiny travel trailers" this will give a peak into this mini camping experience. For questions I can be reached at 765-538-2580. I know it take a month or so to plan coverage of these types of events and we hope we would be of interest to your viewers / readers. Thank you for any concideration. Bob Henry P.O.Box 310 Linden , IN 47955

I put it in the "off topic" section. Other groups might be able to see it and help us get the attention and contacts.

[Jst83]

It's in the off topic section, might get some good input from other places.
