Airstreams Return to Cadillac: 60th Anniversary Celebration Rally Registration Form

Welcome to Airstreams Return to Cadillac Rally

60 years ago on June 29, 1966, the 9th International Rally was held in the small town of Cadillac, Michigan.  A whopping 2828 Airstreams gathered for a week just south of the Wexford County Airport and was said to be one of the largest rally. According to WBCCI/WBAC Historian, Bob Peplinksi in an article written for the Blue Beret in February 2018:

“The nearly 10,000 attendees doubled Cadillac’s population for the duration of the rally! The rally theme was ‘Funderland’ to highlight the promise of fun in all of Michigan’s wonderlands, including lakes Cadillac & Mitchell, just a short distance from the rally site.”  

Where:

Veterans Serving Veterans Park, 3740 South 41 Road, Cadillac, MI 49601

Veterans Serving Veterans, Inc. is a non-profit, 501c(3) organization. The vision of the park is to create a community space that supports local veterans and brings the community closer together. The park has a large open air pavilion with a men's, woman's & a bathroom and a 5K cross-country track. Although this is a boondocking rally, we have access to a shower within the park's Welcome Center and bathrooms. 

Rally attendees donate a minimum of $25 per night to camp. Donations go directly to Veterans Serving Veterans, Inc. and are tax-deductible.  Click HERE to donate.  Type your donation into the "Custom" field & add a note saying your are with the Airstream rally.

Veterans Serving Veterans Park is an alcohol & drug-free zone. Please use discretion when outside your Airstream.

What’s planned:

Continental Breakfast and coffee each morning. Celebrate the 60th anniversary of the 9th International rally with a special presentation by Stan Schwenke and history spotlights during gatherings. Shared meals and fellowship enhance this boondocking rally.

TWO Service Projects to support the Veterans Serving Veterans, Inc. on Friday

1. Split-rail fence  - We will extend the split rail fence to meet with the chain linked fence corner of the motor cycle club fence on the northwest corner of the park. That would seal off the last vulnerable entry into the park for wheeled vehicles. Along with previous fence installed by rally goers, it will look nice and define the property.

2. Boulevard landscaping - The traffic island curbing has been poured. The Defending Freedom Sign, traffic island lamppost, landscaping rocks, electrical and irrigation will be in the island and it will be ready for landscaping plants and perennials. VSV will ask for plant donations early in the season and should have some funds for plant purchase as well. The island is 150’ long, so, it will be an undertaking.

Free Jazz concert at the Rotary Pavilion on Th, July 16. Cadillac Area Arts Festival Weekend: July 17-19 Food Booths, Free music concerts, art fair. Cadillac has lots of opportunities for hiking, biking, walking, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and boating.

Cancellation/Refund Policy

Members who cancel after being registered for any event will forfeit any third-party non-refundable fees incurred by the Michigan Airstream Club (MAC) or the event sponsor including but not limited to reservation fees, processing fees, site cancellation fees, prepaid excursion, tour, entertainment, and event fees. Any member/registrant who cancels within 30 days of the Rally start date will forfeit any prepaid rally fees and depending on the venue, potential RV site fees. Regardless of the reason or cause, if the timeliness of cancellation of your attendance does not allow MAC or it’s Host(s) to find replacement attendees or obtain refunds from any of the vendors or providers, a refund will not be made, and forfeiture of those costs will be incurred by the cancelling member.

If MAC should cancel a rally or event, all fees paid by any member/registrant will be refunded.

This MAC refund policy is premised on the concept that our club should neither profit from nor subsidize the cost of any member or registrant who cancels after registering for a MAC sponsored or hosted rally or event. We understand that circumstances arise where a cancellation may be necessary, and every effort will be made to minimize the financial impact on both the club and the member/registrant.

Any member/registrant who does not agree with a refund decision made by the organizers of a MAC sponsored event may appeal that decision to the MAC Executive Board by filing a written appeal request, including the reasons for a reversal of the refund decision, within 30 days of the original refund decision.
