Upcoming Activities
The Summer TCMG DIY Tour starts on Sunday, June 21st!
In honor of the first day of Summer, our Annual Picnic happening yesterday, and America’s 250th birthday coming up, this season’s DIY photo tour offers three different themes to choose from!
1. Summer:
Photograph your TC in a setting that shows what a “TC Summer” is all about.
2. Picnic:
Photograph your TC in a picnic setting, at a place you would like have have a TC picnic, or anything else having to do with a picnic.
3. Red, White and Blue:
For obvious reasons, but your photo doesn’t have to be an American flag. There’s lots of room for interpretation here!
As always, a slight bending of the rules in the name of creativity or humor is welcome!
Photos must be taken between June 21 and July 26. Email your photo(s) to Steve Simmons by July 26 to have them included in the July meeting program. Drive your TC at least 10 miles during your photo tour and receive a point toward the Sargent Award!

Canceled due to an early heat wave killing the blooms prematurely. A replacement event it being planned for late April.
On Saturday, April 25th, we will be heading north to the beautiful Heritage Valley for a day of gorgeous scenery, great driving roads and interesting destinations.

Here you will tour the historic buildings including the 1887 Fillmore Depot, the 1905 Hinckley House and the 1919 Rancho Sespe Bunkhouse, while learning about the rich history of the area. Among the other historic buildings are various historic trains including a Cotton Belt caboose you can explore.
Our second stop is at the largest rose farm and nursery in the area for a tour of their spectacular walking gardens. Then, a picnic lunch among the flowers. Pack a picnic chair just in case we run out of seating. This will be an afternoon in the country you won’t want to miss!
