While the Fiddler's Picnic has been going for 39 years, this year we are happy to welcome members of various vintage groups who will gather on-site during this year's picnic.
Call it an event within an event, if you will.
The gathering was the brainchild and organized by long-time trailer guy/picnic attendee, Dal Smilie of Helena, MT. Though not all know Dal, his beautiful 48 Stude and chrome "armadillo" have been a picnic fixture for a few years now.
The gathering will include members of the Tin Can Tourists, Sister's On The Fly, and the Vintage Airstream Club, as well as others. Bring your love for vintage trailers and Americana music and join us at the Mercier Ranch August 2-4.
To commemorate this event Dal has come up with a special dash plaque available to vintage members for a $25 donation to picnic general fund. The plaques will also be available for purchase by all attendees for $25 and the usual picnic buttons will also be available for $5 each.
The donations are graciously accepted to help cover the costs of putting on this event, which include food expenses, Special Event insurance, portable toilets, power, fuel, and numerous other small but additive costs incurred to put on an event of this nature.

Can't wait to get there.
ReplyDeleteThe fiddle is out and the fingers are getting limbered up. Won't be long until Otto is putting his "special mark" on everyones campsite.
