I tied last year but not the first year I went, look at pictures from last year and I had on the yellow LSU jacket plus I hung out with Kelly while she was tying her gray ghost
One word of caution about this event, if you are planning on sleeping in the mens bunkhouse bring some earplugs, you plus 49 other men snoring= loud, but it also will make you think back to your youth being at summer camp
In addition to the log cabin styled lodge / dinning hall, complete with comercial kitchen. There are 5 cabins, each sleeping 28 (14 bunk beds), plus a small room with two single beds that are designated as the “changing/dressing” rooms for each cabin.
The cabins are designated:
Single Women’s Cabin - for single gals and ladies not wishing to share a cabin with any men
Couples Cabin - couples only, no kids/singles allowed
Family cabin - kids and families with kids
Men’s Cabin - known as the “snorer’s” cabin
Non-Snorer’s Cabin - open to any non-snorers (and yes I will wake you and let you know if you’re snoring!)
In addition to the cabins listed above, the park has camping and individual cabins for rent.
For over 20 years, tyers have been gathering each fall for a weekend of tying (and feasting) at this marvelous facility. If you like to tie or wish to learn to tie and can make it to the North Toledous Bend Rendezvous, you will be warmly welcomed.
I want to come again this year to the Rendevous. If I can go, it will be my 4th year in a row. I can’t say for sure yet. It will be good to see old friends again, and make new friends.
