Flash back ....... March 6th 2008

I have loved every episode of Across Indiana but never thought I'd be writting you.
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. For a little research background I would recommend the web site "Teardrops and tiny trailers" this will give a peak into this mini camping experience. 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. Thank you for any concideration.

This was the 1st of 5 or 6 attempts to get some TV exposure for our little hobby. Maybe it will finally pay off.

Tom,

I am trying to get things firmed up by tuesday the 23rd for the 25th tapeing. I am also attempting to keep the hoosiers ( and our neighbors) posted on the progress on the midwest section "across indiana" thread, so keep an eye pealed there

[Mark72]

Bob, Thanks for your vigilance on this. You are a great Teardrop Ambassador. A little far for me to join in on the taping though.

Here it is 8:30 Monday morning and I have already checked my e mail a dozen times. I guess I am just a bit anxious. I sure hope to hear something this morning on the tapeing of a teardrop segment for the PBS broadcasted "Across Imdiana" The producer was to meet with the station management this morning and get back with me ASAP.

Stay tuned for an update on this breaking news......

We want to do all of our fellow teardroppers and tiny trailer friends proud.

You can bet there will be a video posted if we
are able to pull this off.

UPDATE ~~~~

We are 4 hours away from the taping of the television sequence for "across Indiana" featuring local built teardrops and tiny trailers.

I will attempt to get an early release of the final product and we will get a u tube version to the forum ASAP.

Were gonna be TV stars.

Good luck wish I could be there, took long enough but it's here now

Nice thing about Across Indiana is they show repeats so it will be seen again and again

[bobhenry]

The segment will air Monday at 7:30 wfyi Indianapolis channel 20 .

Got a real nice sunburn but had a good time. Here is one of 8 pics I was able to get.

John and Rose Spratt talking with the host Michael Atwood about the Hoosier tearjerkers group.

[Jst83]

Can't wait to watch and see more pics, I've got the TV set to record already

[bobhenry]

Taping took from 2:00 to just a couple minutes of 5:00.
Handyman Dan talked about the history of the teardrop. John Spratt explained the tearjerker organization and the concept of a gathering.
Joe Hanson delved into the standie tiny trailers and many of the features we attempt to build into our little trailers. My interview was focused to delve into the affordability of the tiny trailers and the build process.

We had a lot of fun and hope the Hoosier group will please set the dvd recorders so we can air it to the other members on the board.
