2023 Wrap Up


 The 2023 Pineknot Gathering was once again held at Salmon Lake Park with 4 days of perfect weather. Out of the total 121 registrations we had 111 trailers, 10 who stayed in the cabins or drove in and a total of  220 people in attendance. Somehow we all managed to make it into the Sunshine inn for our last night of giveaways!


 Activities included Donut & Pancake Breakfast, Larry Gamble’s Tech Talk, Solo Travelers Q&A with Christi Townzen, Pecan Orchard Tour with Blair & Doug Krebs, T-Shirt braiding with Reine Trent, the 3rd Annual Self Proclaimed World’s Largest Fiberglass Trailer Gathering Weenie Roast (ASPWLFTRWR), Swap Meet, Q&A with Doug Krebs from Casita Works, Beaded Wine Glass Decorating with Sandra Higgins, Wine-Beer & Spirits Tasting, Chinese Auction, Egg Parade, Pumpkin Carving Contest, Dessert Night, 50/50 Raffle & Door Prizes, Tree Dedication in Honor of Arlis Dean & all our fellow travelers who have passed on.


 Unfortunately Biscuits and Gravy was unable to play but Larry Gamble was able to keep us all set up with sound and music as needed and we are forever grateful. We are also grateful to be blessed with the amazing sounds of Danny Bingham who stepped in on Saturday night to sing us some tunes with his string guitar.

 

 Vendors attending were Frank Knight with Katy’s Casita Closets, Doug Krebbs with Casita Works, Sandy’s Simply Homemade Meals, and Paul Schloss with his always popular Penny Drop games.


 We would like to give a Special Thank You to…

Dave & Linda Allen for all their hard work for the many years before us and for helping us get this year's rally off the ground! Doug Krebs with Casita works for sponsoring our 3rd Annual Self Proclaimed World’s Largest Fiberglass Trailer Gathering Weenie Roast (ASPWLFTRWR). All our volunteers who helped us with cooking and cleaning throughout the rally & for everyone who donated door prizes. All our members who came back due to the tree dedication! We have all missed you and it was nice to see all those smiling faces again! It was an emotional day but a blessing to have you all come back!


 Lastly, we would like to thank Blair McClure who operates the MFRVG website.  He operates behind the scenes, completely invisible to most rally goers but because of his efforts the hosting duties are made simple for most all of the Texas Gatherings. Thank you Blair!
