There are and have been a number of these regional rallies

@topgun2 I've read about (and would like to attend) the Texas Rally, but somehow I never heard of the Florida Rally. Is there a section of the forum (or the website) where these are featured? Since they seem largely organized by owners, I would think the forum is the better place (maybe I've just not discovered it yet).

Toni - 

 The Florida, the New England and the Texas rallies were organized by members/owners and all were mentioned here on the Forum.  However, primarily due to attendance restrictions (which, in turn, was due to campground availability) each of these rallies had limited availability and "advertisement".  It seems that the old saying - "build it and they will come" - certainly pertains to our rallies.  While the Texas and and New England rallies have been held each year for the past few years, the Florida rally was only held when Foy and Mirna had the time to devote to it (note here that in addition to hosting the Florida rally Foy and Mirna graciously provided everyone in attendance with the main entree for one night's dinner - Since I've not been able to attend either of the other two rallies I do not know the details).  I also know that Oliver has provided some "door prizes" and there have been other "sponsors" as well for each of these rallies.

Generally, announcements of these regional rallies would be found in the "Events & Rallies" section of the Forum.  

Hope this helps.

Sorry - I forgot about the Mid-West Rally that is taking place May 19th-May 23, 2027.

Obviously, I haven't poked around enough in this amazing Forum space!  Thanks Bill -- this is great.

In addition to the Oliver regional rallies, there are also fiberglass rallies with more and more Olivers in attendance. 

Here in Ohio, the Casitas of Ohio put on a spring kick-off fiberglass rally and a fall rally. This past spring there were five Oliver’s in attendance out of maybe 20-25 total trailers. 

The Florida Eggs n S’mores fiberglass rally in January had at least a dozen Oliver’s. Hungry Mother fiberglass rally in Western Virginia had five Olivers.  And there are similar rallies all over the country.

We have done the list the last three years. After talking to Scott Oliver and Matt last year, they were going to try to include that information with the welcome package. So no, I am not collecting details this year. 
 

Due to a scheduling conflict with a building project here at home, we have canceled our reservations. We’ll see you in Florida for Eggs n S’mores.

We happened to be camping at Stone Mountain SP NC a few weeks ago when the Carolina Casitas were having a gathering, they invited us to join their Facebook group, so we did! Nice group of folks.

Hope to attend Eggs on the Hiawassee River GA gathering held during June. They also have a Facebook group.

We attended a couple of Hungry Mother SP VA Fiberglass gatherings attended by various fiberglass owners including Ollie owners. If I remember correctly one of the Oliver owners attending had a hand in making Peach and Cherry cobblers, too! 🙂

Be a bit careful with your reservations for the Hiawassee rally in that they really do get crowded.  They do have an "overflow" area but I can not recommend it.  Also, if you go be sure to get to the pot luck dinner early because all seats under cover will be gone quickly.

Bill Thanks!

Forgot to mention the Hungry Mother SP VA rally has a Facebook group, too.
