Former Tin Can Tourist leaders Forrest and Jeri Bone will be part of the RV/MH Hall of Fame Class of 2023 inductees this August with a ceremony at the hall in Elkart, Indiana.
To celebrate this event, directors at the Hall of Fame have decided that Tin Can Tourists and the Vintage Airstream Club members are invited to camp at the museum and take part in the festivities.
The rally will be held on the grounds of the museum. Dry camping or electric only will be available. Potable water available and two dump stations are available on-site. Hoses for trailer washing and cleanup will be available. A large, enclosed pavilion with banquet room will be available to use that has air conditioning, bathrooms and meeting facilities.
Organizers say they are working on providing shower facilities at nearby campgrounds, water park or schools.
Induction ceremony tickets will be available at a discount through the rally registration form. Rally tickets are being bundled together so all rally participants can sit with one another.
“Dress code is business casual and vintage attire is encouraged for our rally participants,” said organizers. “Have fun with it. The museum is excited to have a “different” group at ceremony than usual audience.
Please note that the camping will be on hard surfaces and there are no stakes allowed.
