TFT Rendezvous postponed to February 21-24th
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!

TFT Rendezvous, Feb 8-10, 2019
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
TFT Rendezvous Rained Out
Got some bad news about the Texas Free Trappers Rendezvous this weekend:
I just got a report from those already there that due to the heavy rain last night, the TFT Rendezvous in Shiner has been rained out. Joe Wolfe says it is hopeless
Hope to hear more from them soon about upcoming events.

TFT RENDEZVOUS POSTPONED!!!
From Iron Burner:
Because three of our event leaders (workers) cannot be at the Texas Free Trappers Rendezvous this weekend because of urgent family emergencies, and with the hope for better weather, the rendezvous has been rescheduled for February 15 – 18, 2018.
We hope this change does not prevent you from attending.

in Shiner, Texas. Please get the word out. If you know any folks that don’t use email, let me know their name and mailing address. I’m going to put the word out to the Lavaca and Gonzales Counties’ 4H groups to see if they’d like to come by and see what we are all about.
Here’s wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
