Oliver Owners, Due to Oliver Travel Trailers changing their date to October this year, it was decided that our next rally will be in the spring. The Texas Oliver Rally for Oliver Owners will be held at Lake Livingston State Park (not to far from Houston), checking in April 5 and checking out April 8. We are planning a meet and greet the evening of the 5th, and hope to have a BBQ dinner and potluck lunch during the rally. Starting December 5 you may book your site through Texas Park and Wildlife Department 1-512-389-8900. The cost to attend this event is up to you. You pay for your site, if you plan to attend the BBQ you will cover your plate(s) if we don't get a sponsor (last year Oliver Travel Trailers sponsor it and CGI gave us all TShirts with our own rally logo) and if we are able to reserve the meeting hall you will pay your share (based on how many sites are booked). So you have and idea, the hall will cost a total of around $300.00, BBQ around $26/plate (if we don't have a sponsor), etc. in 2024 and the 2025 we had over 45 Oliver Trailers parked on site and a total of 90 participants visiting new and old friends. We hope to have door prizes so if you want to donate one bring it with you and let me know. I have an event set up under the Ollie Rolling Rally Facebook group which will have more information as we get closer to the date. Hope to see you there and wishing you all safe travels Donna and Scott Gerould

The Texas a Oliver Rally is scheduled for April 5 (check in date) through April 8 (check out date). This event will be held at the Lake Livingston State Park. You will be able to book your site starting in December, 2026. Most information will be posted on Facebook but I will also post here as well. Hope to see you there!

Thank you for posting pictures Steve

Thanks for letting us know.

Hello everyone here is a copy of the agenda for the Texas Rally looking forward to seeing everyone.

Great news!!!!! Oliver (Jason Essary) called me and offered to cover the BBQ which I accepted. What this means is those of you that paid for their dinner will be reimbursed. Please extend thank yous to Oliver Travel Trailers for their generosity. There is still a cost for the hall rental and the music at the potluck which comes out to $12.00 per campsite. Paula and I discussed how we would handle this and have come up with this: The money we will be reimbursing will be less $12.00. those that paid for 1 dinner will get $13.00; those that paid for 2 will get $38.00; those that didn't pay for dinner please bring $12 so Paula and I may be reimbursed for costs we covered.

Glenda Burnes now has your site. She was on a waiting list and was thrilled to hear a site was available. They purchased hull 202 earlier in the year and this will be their first rally

Thank you for letting me know. Hope all is well and wishing you safe travels.

Glad you will be joining us. Looking forward to this Rally

I see you have filled out info Steve. Please send BBQ payment to Paula Ratliff ASAP. Were you wanting a T-shirt? Be sure and choose your size if you do. See you there

But I need to search for someone and don't know their forum name and I can't find them on Facebook. I need to talk to them about the Texas Rally this October. I don't have a hull number either I just have their name ending in Harrison and that they will be in site 21

I don't know how to do private message on here. If you use Zelle we need $25/person and also Tshirt sizes CGI supplying shirts).

I didn't know at the time that original reservation was cancelled. Found out this weekend. Are planning to due the BBQ etc ?

WOW, we now have 50 Olivers represented for this rally. I have updated the list on Google Sheets but have attached an image of this list below. Please make sure you get your BBQ dinner payment in to Paula ( Cleo Ratliff Jr ) as the BBQ has to paid prior to the week of the event and a deposit of $1000 is due Friday (Sept 5). CGI Detailing will be providing t-shirts and if you are interested in getting one, please make sure you have picked the size you desire on the Attendees list as well. Those that have already selected size, please double check your selection, as there have been several folks looking at this list and may have accidently altered your selection. Paula will also be posting an itinerary closer to the event. Remember there will be a meet and greet at the firepit in the Live Oak Loop. There will be door prizes and plan to hold drawings the night of the BBQ for those in attendance.

Hey everyone, Paula Ratliff Cleo Jr Ratliff needs to collect for the BBQ dinner $25.00 per person so we can pay the BBQ guy to lock it in by Friday September 5, everyone please put your first and last name and Texas rally in the message section. Paula's phone number for Zelle is 281-408-9328. We appreciate your prompt payment for this

You welcome to join us, but I don't know If the park has site still available.

Okay thanks for letting me know. Did you sell it through the Oliver Travel Trailers for sale FB page? Don't forget to inform Oliver if the new Owners name. I believe there is a transfer ownership form on Oliver's website too Best of luck to you guys.

John Godspeed, I have added your participation to BbQ and potluck on the form. You have to download the Google Sheets app on your phone to download the list. Here is the link to try again. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JPSsJth_EGWro75oJLbW6lk0SA1eYLZr5-prV1QHM-0/edit?usp=drivesdk See you there🙂

Bev Caudex ha volunteered to do demonstration at the Rally on how to bake with your convection oven. She will post a sign up sheet in the Ollie Rolling Rally FB group, but if you are interested let me know and I will give her your name.

Here is the list of attendees that already have sites booked. This list is a PDF, however in a previous post I did provide a link to a Google Sheets spreadsheet that you would be able to add your information and also if you planned to participate with the BBQ dinner and/or potluck lunch.
