Ninety Airstream trailers expected for celebration in Plymouth
PLYMOUTH – Three rows of circles, reminiscent of the wagon-wheel style of parking, are being created this week at the Baker Farm in Plymouth as Airstream enthusiasts pull in to celebrate the birthday of the trailers’ founder, Wally Byam.
Host Rob Baker said more than 90 of the quintessential silver bullet trailers from 30 states and several cities in Canada are expected to circle park for a weekend of events. About 175 adults and 55 children were registered to participate. The birthday bash begins Thursday and continues through Monday.
“We’ve been busy, busy here,” he said Wednesday as trailers were arriving. “The numbers are exceeding my expectations. I hope the weather does, too.”
The oldest trailer on the premises so far is a 1954 Airstream. Even brand new trailers, curtsey of Meyers RV of Syracuse and Camping World, will be open for display.
Airstreams hailing from the different decades will be open to tours by the public, and there will be eight professional Airstream restoration businesses represented. An open house is from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday at Baker’s Acres on 138 Pierce Road in Plymouth, followed by a fireworks display. Spectators are encouraged to bring a canned food product for Roots & Wings, a division of Catholic Charities of Chenango County.
Baker and a group of four fellow Airstreamers decided to host the large event this summer in honor of Byam’s birthday and the RV’s 79th anniversary. Participants will enjoy family-style breakfasts every morning, happy hours, potluck dinners and camp fires each night. Some of the activities planned include a professional clown for the kids and Antsy McClain of the “Trailer Park Troubadours” who will drive up from Nashville in her 1966 Airstream.
Baker, formerly of Stanton’s Farm Market in North Norwich, said his grandfather, Don Stanton, always had an Airstream on the farm. In the 1960s, his grandfather hosted rallies at the Canasawacta Country Club in North Norwich and in Sherburne. When Stanton died in 1997, Rob bought his first Airstream. Since then, he has owned 20 of them and, in February, started The Airstreamer’s Club or TAC (not to be confused with Wally Byam’s Caravan Club, Inc.) Baker’s new organization boasts more than 250 members.
“This will be one of TAC’s first big events that will only grow in the future,” he said.
