    WATTS BAR 2020 Allson Rally

    Yes, the annual rally is still on. I just found out the other night. I actually didn't think it was on due to a conversation I had a month or so ago with a few locals.

    So the good news is there's a rally, the bad news is there's only 1-2 bedroom unit available at Terrace View. There are other marinas/lodging on Watts BAr as well. the Terrace View Rest is open for take out only at this point. And I'm told other restaurants on the water are the same.

    Skewby will have a meal for all on Monday and Tuesday evening and talk of maybe going back to years ago with grilling other nights instead of dinners at the local marinas due to the take out aspect. Only way for Skewby to accept the responsibility of hosting the remaining meals is financial and volunteer support.

    The dates are Sunday, June 21 to June 28.

    Anyone interested or need more info please post here with questions and I'll answer.

    Thanks

    I'm not an Allison owner but have been to some of the rallies when you guys came up to Cherokee for the day. Do you still come up here or stay on Watts Bar? At one time, the guys went up to Linda's Lakeside Marine and then down to Cedar Hill for a cookout. A friend of mine, Joe Harrell hosted the cookout at Cedar Hill and maybe Black Oak.

    What you described was my first rally back in 2010. Stayed in Danbury at a hotel and would drive on up to Cherokee. It was fun for sure. Joe was and is a terrific host. He fed us at his place too.

    Since then we've moved it to Watts Bar and stayed there ever since. The local Allison owners stepped up and worked hard to get it done right so we stayed. The remaining local businesses and marinas/restaurants have treated us excellent too. It's a great place to hold a rally. Skewby's influence along with his local comrads have made this rally what it is today..nothing short of spectular

    Boats in the water in morning then just run and decide where people want to go and see, not really any plans. Spaghetti dinner by me Monday for supper and shrimp boil by me Tuesday. Not sure if they will. E survived at terrace view or my housemate. But probably at terrace view. Possible 4 hour fishing tournament Thursday morning and if people agree a poker run after the weigh in. That would be 50 miles or so unless people want to venture up river then it will add an additional 50 miles

    Hot breakfast will be served at terrace view in the mornings from 9-1030. After that they will have fruit and muffins for the hung over and late rising crowd. The spaghetti supper will be at the pool at terrace view Monday as will the shrimp boil supper Tuesday supplied by me. Good chance of a supper fixed could be supplied Wednesday but if not terrace view is ours from Sunday to Sunday for our meals.
