I’m glad we aren’t in a drought in South Texas, but the rain got the best of us again for the TFT Rendezvous. Almost the same conditions as last fall. The TFT Rendezvous is being moved to February 21-24th. As before, please RSVP. We appreciate all those that replied and gave us their cell numbers. Get the word out!

Sorry for the extremely late notice. We are having a TFT rendezvous February 8-10, in Shiner. Attached are the flyer and map. Take note that we are asking for an RSVP to either the Booshway or Segundo or you can email me and I’ll pass it along.
Because of gate security on the ranch and the ever potential for a downpour, an RSVP will ensure folks can get in the gate or we can pass along news of a cancellation. Upon arrival at the site, call the numbers on the flyer and someone will come down to open the gate. We apologize to those that were notified too late last fall when we got rained out. The ranch land just won’t support vehicles and we don’t want to go “mudding” through private property.
Hope to see you there, Jack Simons
