A fun teardrop trailer gathering is coming up on April 27-30, 2017 at Shasta Lake in Northern California. It's a Tear Jerkers camping club event hosted by Lydia, aka Liddybug, the director of the Jefferson State Tear Jerkers chapter. Information is also available at tnttt.com: Shasta Lake Gathering 2017. The location is the Antlers RV Park & Campground, located on Shasta Lake, in the town of Lakehead in Northern California. It attracts a sizeable turnout (maybe 100 or so teardrop trailers) from many parts of the US and Canada. I want to go to it. Is anyone from the Camp Inn community planning on attending?

Hello all!
Shasta Lake Gathering 2017 is coming up April 27-30! Please book your reservation with Antler’s Resort directly at 530-238-2322 or RV park, campground - Shasta Lake, California. They are charging $12-15/night depending on whether or not you have hook-ups. Make sure you tell them you're with the teardrop gathering so they give you the special rate. Most of the group will be in the lower loop, so you may want to request to be there too. If there aren't any more spaces, come anyway. We'll fit you in and the resort charges by trailer, so you'll be fine.
There is a $25 “suggested donation” to help cover the costs of putting this event together. That can either be paid at the event or sent via paypal to lmcelroys@hotmail.com. If you do paypal – please make sure you send me a message letting me know who to connect the payment to. I’ll also be able to accept cards at the event if you’d rather do it in person.
As previously mentioned, I need help! I know, I know, most of that needs to be provided by a certified professional, but some of it you all can help with too. If there are any activities you would like to see happen, please let me know and help coordinate them! (Shout out to everyone who’s requested the return of the raffle, morning coffee & breakfasts…Any volunteers??)
The itinerary is as follows (all events in center site unless otherwise noted):

If there is anything I’m missing or you’d like to add in, let me know! I am undoubtedly forgetting things since I’m overworked and justly compensated. Please feel free to contact me via DM here, emailing lmcelroys@hotmail.com or by text or call to 530-598-2294. I am working 2 jobs from 7am – 9pm (or later) Monday - Friday, so I’m a bit hard to get by phone, but if you do call, I’ll get back to you soon as I can.
See ya’ll soon!
Lydia
