Vintage Caravan Magazine Issue 34 | Page 36

Annual Gathering to the first day back to school after summer vacation. Everyone is so excited to see each other again. We catch up on each other’s lives, discuss changes to the trailers, welcome the new kids to the group and remember those who cannot be with us. It’s one big crazy family. Each rally has its own vibe. The Annual Gathering is different from the Fall Gathering. The Annual Gathering is special because there is judging, if you are into that type of thing. During the Open House a team of judges comprised of the previous years’ winners tour the trailers that were entered into the judging. There are fun categories such as “Friday Night Lights” and “Awesome Interiors” as well as categories for various sizes/types of trailers. The Fall Rally features a flea market at the various trailer sites and a more laid-back atmosphere. You never The 1952 Vagabond owned by Steve Brown and Sandy Mastin is impeccably restored inside and out. Vintage accessories take you back in time. They are also the “hosts with the most” and a crowd can usually be seen gathered under the awning laughing and enjoying the day. The adorable Sea Side is a 1957 Play-ette owned by Debra VanNorman Rivet and her daughter Jennifer Hammons. 34 | vintagetrailermagazine
