the event, with attendees from all over
the country. 2019 marks the Centennial
Anniversary for Tin Can Tourists.
Originally founded in 1919 in Florida,
Tin Can Tourists stated objective was
“to unite fraternally all autocampers”. In
1998 Forrest and Jeri Bone revived the
organization as an all make and model
vintage trailer club. 21 rigs attended
the May Renewal Gathering. Now
membership spans the globe with rallies
held across the country. Special rallies
will be held to commemorate the 100th
anniversary. For more information about
Tin Can Tourists and to keep up with
special anniversary plans, please visit
their website www.tincantourists.com
If you attend a future TCT Annual
Gathering, be sure to look us up. Drinks
are cold and we promise you’ll be
welcomed with open arms. We were
visitors in 2003 and immediately felt like
family. You will too.
