Airstream Rally – Trot into Tryon
It was a big event the first weekend of April as nearly 20 Airstream RVs came into town. Sponsored by the Tryon Downtown Development Association (TDDA) and the Carolinas Airstream Club, the rally was the first for the town. The Airstreamers, a loyal band of owners, enjoyed their stay in Tryon and welcomed visitors into their campers. There were Airstreams over 50 years old at the rally and some virtually brand new. Skip and Denny Crowe, local Airstream owners, helped coordinate the event with the help of Wanda May and Paige Henderson who were representing TDDA and the Town of Tryon. It took a small army of volunteers to pull off this event. The Airstreamers are hoping this is an annual tradition.
