NATIONAL SERRO SCOTTY ORGANIZATION NEWS


Some of us will be meeting up at Mabel's house in SW Michigan very soon to caravan across "The Bridge" at the Straits of Mackinaw for the NSSO UP Road Trip. Four stops to take in many many sights and expecting lots of fun. You won't want to miss the slide show afterwards.


Tim and Susan have already left California with their 2011 Scotty teardrop replica and are making their way to Stop 1 of the UP Road Trip via Canada. Safe trip Tim and Susan!


Come camp in October where you can view a constant parade of ocean-going vessels from your campsite. This campground is right on the St. Clair River which is part of the St. Lawrence Seaway. We can book sites NOW for the Algonac (Michigan) camp-out. Book NOW as this is a popular campground and may fill up!


A new event scheduled for late October of this year! We will camp near Elkhart and go enmasse to visit the RV Museum and Hall of Fame. These are the two Scottys donated by the Serro family to the museum and, John Serro was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1987. Make your reservations now!

Did You Know?



That Ovenettes, popular in the 50s and 60s became prominent in vintage campings due to our very own Mabel Magdeline Kroes? She bought her first one in 2004 and won the first ever Ovenette Cook-off competition with her Blueberry Cobbler. We have an Ovenette page under the "Fun" section in the website and Mabel's award winning recipes may be found there. She won more than one competition before retiring to let others win! Ovenettes can be found on Ebay.
