As of now, 2021 rendezvous is going on as planned. We have the go ahead from the historical society, as well as the DeCorsa Winery. June 25th-27th. If you received a registration form for last year, the form is still good. If you did not, it will go out Monday.

Retired Booshway Cap'n Gerry here.
Some participants and visitors will remember that for quite a few years a truck selling beef jerky was set up near the gate at the Rendezvous when at the Red Road south location. The gent with that truck was named Vince Shallbetter, from Mora. He passed away last week aged 85. Condolences from the entire Vous Crew.

This message is from the board of directors of the Mille Lacs Lake Historical Society: After discussion we have concluded that we cannot support attempting to present the Mille Lacs History Fest & Rendezvous for 2020.
The liability and potential financial loss along with the added logistics, expense, and workers needed to comply with sanitizing procedures are simply beyond our capability as a small non-profit organization. As it stands now probably all of our activities this year will be affected. Thanks for your understanding.
Gerald Wollum - board president

With everything going on, and the other event cancellations, we need to make a decision on the event in June. How many would actually show up to camp/trade for the weekend? Maybe we could consider a Saturday trade camp, as long as we were all spread out. How could we entice the public to day trip camp? What are your thoughts? Any help would be great.
