Thanks Campmaster!!

It was alot of fun, and we got a real Meet & Greet the public who just loved all the teardrops.

Next year will be here really fast and I am sure we can find you a spot...maybe. :lol:

hey I was gifted some really nice Coleman gear from a relative. I will get the model numbers and maybe you can tell me what I got?? :twisted:

All are like new in the box and have almost no use.

Dave

Hi Angie,

My apologies to you and Charles on this person and their unacceptable behavior. I did not hear of this until you mentioned it to me in your e-mail. This happened when I finally took a break and was walking the Flea Market and getting some lunch. I got the scoop from a couple of the teardrop people late yesterday afternoon.

This person was not invited and essentially showed up unannounced after we had set up Saturday morning. I was trying to be polite and accommodating. The person did not have plans of staying over nite and did not have bedding and was just coming to visit. This led to her leaving her trailer over nite and coming back whenever to pick it up.

I deeply apologize for her behavior and she will not be invited back to anything that I am associated with. The person was very self centered to begin with and of course not respectful to neither you or Charles, let alone too my wife and I. I always try and do the right thing for everyone and give as much one can give(My Mom’s side of the family), but unfortunately there are those that are self centered and do not care.

Everyone else has been so appreciative and grateful for the opportunity to be there and talk with the public. I know that they were so happy and commented how much fun they had talking with the public and educating them about their Teardrops. Normally it is just a gathering of other teardroppers and it tends to be the same thing: visit with friends, have some good food and talk about teardrops and families. This was completely different!! Beautiful views both day and nite! Gourmet Food!! Eclectic vendors and their fun items to look at and talk with. Talking with the public and answering many questions was just so fun!! The competition of voting for your favorite teardop was fun as we gathered around in the evening and went through the 160 plus votes. I am still getting e-mails telling me how much fun everyone had. I know I am still smiling. We have a list of people that are interested in the history of Teardrops and general ownership that we will follow through on getting them information.

Again I apologize for this persons rude behavior. It is not who we are.

Dawn and I will look forward to coming out to the Flea Market and having some more fun with our friends and hope to say hello when we can.

Dave

I've sure enjoyed reading all the posts and seeing the pics. What a wonderful weekend it looked like!
I knew I would have remorse about not going, but as it turned out I needed to be home for the weekend.

Hope to join you next year!

I guess it's that 1% factor again.... It's a shame that some people think they own the world and can do as they please without kind or polite regard for others.

Dave...: You did a good thing with this gathering. Glad it turned out well for you. :thumbsup:

FYI,

Good Morning Dave,

Both Charles and I did not think she was with you and understand completely. Sometimes a bad apple shows up
out of nowhere.

She in no way shined a bad light on you or the other teardrop owner's, only herself.

Again we loved having you, your wife and the other completely charming owner's and will look forward to
doing this again in the future!


Our Best,
Angie & Charles
