Brownwood News – (contributed) Texas Country Air, an Airstream RV Urban Air Rally, returns to Brownwood, October 24-27. The entire community is invited to participate and visit with the owners of these iconic aluminum travel trailers, all camping around the historic Brownwood Depot. All events and activities are open to the general public and we need your help in filling the Brownwood Good Samaritan Pantry.
Over 100 Airstreams are expected to attend this year’s event, themed SpookTCAular. One of the featured events includes an Airstream Decorating Contest, with judging to be held at 1 PM, October 25th in the areas surrounding the depot venue.
Participants and the community are invited to bring 5 canned good items in exchange for a ballot. Then, after viewing all the decorated Airstreams, complete the ballot. Upon completion winners will be announced. Giving back to the Brownwood community, all donations will be delivered to the Brownwood Good Samaritan Pantry as way for the Rally and participants to thank Brownwood for hosting our event.
The public is also invited to an Open House Saturday afternoon giving everyone a chance to see inside these travel icons, speak with their owners, and share travel memories. The festivities continue with a costume ball, and pet costume competitions later in the evening.
