Hats are ready to be delivered! You have a choice of the Tin Can Tourists of Georgia hat on the left or the white Gathering of Times hat on the right. The Gathering of the Times hat that you see here is a prototype. There will be no words at the bottom in the future and you will have a choice of either blue or white stitching around the logo. Unfortunately we cannot ship them but they will be available at rallies. Thanks to Lanny Webb for designing these awesome logos!

Introducing our 2026 Gathering of the Times official logo!

Our friend Lanny Webb has once again knocked it out of the park with a great design. This will be used on all posters, decals, and t-shirts.

Only three weeks to go until Gathering of the Times 2026 begins taking reservations! This will be our seventh GOTT and will be the best yet. It is going to be a little different than years past as everything will be centered around a vintage trailer show that will be open to the public on Saturday. The trailer show’s purpose is to bring awareness to our club, Tin Can Tourists, the oldest RV club in the world. We will also have a fun welcome party and pot luck dinner during the rally.

There will be many volunteer opportunities for participants such as money takers, wristband helpers, TCT information tent representatives, and parking attendants. This show will be a highly publicized event which will be advertised locally and regionally. There will also be a hot rod show across the street at the same time so we should expect large crowds. All proceeds from the show will go to Tin Can Tourists to cover items given out such as brochures, etc.

Campsites will go quickly, especially the ones on the lake so be ready to call 706-896-4191 at 8:30am on Wednesday, December 17th to snag a good one. All of the sights are wooded and have views of Lake Chatuge. W/P only. $35 per night

We hope you can join us!

Cindy and I just wanted to thank everyone for attending Gathering of the Times 2025. I think this was our best rally yet! A big thank you to Jackie and Amie Ellington of 411 River Rest Campground. They are BY FAR the best campground hosts we have ever seen and they went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable. Thank you Tim Heintz for the coffee bar, seminar, inducting the new TCT members, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Thank you to the Woodall’s for counting ballots, hosting the Hatfield family reunion, and again, a bunch of other stuff. Everyone did a little something extra to make this a fun rally and it’s very much appreciated.

TCT Georgia will have four rallies in 2026 so we would love to see you at one or all of them!

RALLY SACKS

In the sack you will see two felt makers, a black and a silver. Use the black one on your trailer sign and the silver one on your badges. Please write your name on both sides of the badge. There will be acetone at the pavilion if you make a mistake writing. We have extras of everything except shirts so if you need something just ask.

BRING THREE FOOD ITEMS

An appetizer for the family reunion, a mini sandwich plate, and a dish for the pot luck meal(vegetable, meat dish, or whatever). There are plenty of outlets for hot food for the potluck. The mini sandwich plate just needs about five to ten little sandwiches on it. Plates and utensils will be provided for all meals. Bring your own beverage.

FAMILY REUNION

Mountain Margaritas will be provided at the McCoy reunion.

TRAILER SITE

If you want to decorate your site hillbilly style please do. That goes for dress up also.

Don’t forget the trailer light competition. For Best of Show please vote for the trailer only, not exterior staging. The only rule is which one you like best. Ballot boxes for the Best of Show and light competition will be at the pavilion. Winners will be announced at the goodbye ceremony on Saturday night

Please bring items you wish sell during the trailer show and set them in front of your site.
