The Airstream Club TAC at Roosevelt State Park Georgia 2011

Pictures from the Memorial Day weekend gathering at the TAC rally in Roosevelt State Park  in Georgia. http://www.animalsafari.com/safari/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1:about-our-park&catid=19:about-us  Nearby was the Pine Mountain Animal Safari, which was a fun destination for several families from the rally.   Callaway Gardens was also close by but being Memorial Day  weekend they had  Special Event gate entrance pricing due to the water skiing competition. For those of us who just wanted to enjoy the gardens, the bike paths, or the beach this was a pricey deterrent.
 At the campground, we created our own sources of entertainment. Several nights movies were projected on the side of an Airstream for the kids, or for those who are just young at heart. Artistically chalked in the road was a Free Movies sign with an arrow directing everyone to the campsite. A friendly neighbor camper even donated a  large bag of huge marshmallows for toasting around the campfire. At 5:30 PM daily, appetizers were shared at  the Pavilion for social time. The vintage trailer group joined forces several mornings for waffles, pancakes, bacon, fruit salad, coffee, juice and sweet rolls. I believe everyone was constantly amused by the antics of all the pets in attendance. The children were catching insects and frogs, gathering blue berries, finding bats nesting in the rafters of the pavilion, riding bikes and scooters with endless energy. It was also a relaxing time for book reading and water coloring for some, while others went on strenuous hikes or biking adventures. I believe everybody attending the rally would agree that it was a wonderful time and that we should plan to get together again.

The Garden Adventure - A Bunny Story for Easter

"Big brother, lead the way!" she called out joyfully, "I want to explore." "Oh no!" timid Sammy cried, "I will stay right here where it is safe and secure." "But I need you to go with me," she pleaded. "You are older, larger and stronger than me. Please venture out into the yard so we can see what is growing out there,"she begged. "I will stay right beside you always, so please do not be afraid,"encouraged Schnoodle. With much trepidation, Sammy relented to her endless pleading. Out from their snug nest under the Hydrangea bush the bunnies hopped. Off they went, side by side, to expand their horizons.

Awning Lady

"Rumor has it; that the awning lady is here, this weekend, for the Misty River Vintage Trailer Rally. Has anyone seen her yet?"

Springstream in the North Georgia Mountains Poem

 Enjoy this Poem written by Sandlapper from the Airstream Forum:

Twas the week before Springstream and all through the South,
All the Streams sat ready, parked by the house.
Polished and shining, many quite rare,
Ready to roll to the Georgia Mountain fair.

Vintage Trailer Awning

 

Dated 2011: I have just begun to publish this new blog site entitled Vintage Trailer Awning. So please refer to https://vintageawnings.blogspot.com/   my original Vintage Awnings blog, while this one is being established. 

Update 2022: Wow, this post is 10 years old. I haven't seen some of these marine grade awning fabric patterns in years. Over the years, I have made hundreds of Vintage Trailer Awnings by Kristi. I continue to use Sunbrella marine grade awning fabric for constructing vintage trailer awnings. As my own vintage trailer awning is over 10 years old now and still in service, I imagine all of the awnings, made from these patterns are still being used as well. Sunbrella has an expected 10 years before showing signs of fading or leaking, so it may be time to be considering a new Vintage Trailer Awning by Kristi.
