Greetings TCTers!

The 106^th Annual Winter Convention Registration is open! (Registration attached) We are happy to be returning to the Robinson Ranch right on the Withlacoochee Riverside between downtown Dunnellon Florida and Inglis Florida. Be sure to book early as we only have 130 elect/water sites in addition to a dry camping field.

DATES:

The official convention dates will be February 19-23, 2025 with February 19^th being an optional early arrival day. Remember that like last year no member will be allowed to arrive earlier than the 19^th of February as this venue is not a public RV park and we are only contracted to have our members arrive on the official dates for the rally. If you are traveling long distance and plan to arrive in the area earlier you will need to make arrangements at a nearby RV park until the gates open at noon February 19^th 2025. The venue has agreed that anyone that wants to stay a night or two AFTER the official rally may do so for an additional $25.00 per night paid in person to the venue host.

CHECK IN:

TCT will have a large number of rigs arriving on Wednesday and Thursday. We are asking members to arrive at the park between noon-5:00pm EDT if possible and please be patient as we direct all rigs during parking. Official registration will occur at the gate when you arrive. If arriving after hours and need assistance in parking please contact Tim Heintz once you arrive by calling 850.739.0237

TCT campsite parking is all ‘First Come First Served’. There is the option of registering for a 30amp Electric/Water site OR a dry camping area. The Dry Camping area does have some water hook ups in the general area for filling tanks and if you want to park near a water hook up in the dry camping area it will be a first come first serve basis. Generators will be allowed in the Dry Camping area only and designated hours to run generators will be 9am-11am and 6pm-8pm only please. There is a dump station on site for all members to use.

This year we will also have additional port-o-lets for the dry camping area, sites furthest from the bathrooms, and close to the pavilion.

We are also working on the possibility of having Golf Cart rentals for members, but more details will be sent out if these options can be secured.

If you do not pick up your registration bag on Wednesday you may pick it up at the gate on Thursday from 11am-5pm or at the Thursday evening Meet and Greet

VOLUNTEERS:

We do need volunteers to help during the event. If you would like to volunteer, please select that option on the official registration or with one of the TCT officials once you arrive. Volunteers are needed to help set-up, gate registration, break-down, check arm bands, serve meals, meal clean up, open house gate attendants, etc…

SCHEDULE:

There are many events planned during the 106^th Winter Convention, catered meals, meet and greets, movie night, live entertainment, contest, swap meet, vintage trailer open house, and so much more! DON’T FORGET THIS YEAR’S THEME HEE-HAW! So, start looking for your best Hee-Haw themed costume and there will be a Minnie Pearl Contest open to all! (Women and Men!) There will also be some Hee-Haw themed skits during the live bluegrass band performance.
