ETR Year by Year – Eastern Tandem Rally

Eastern Tandem Rallies have been held all over the Northeast, as far West as Dellroy, Ohio, as far North as Burlington, Vermont, as far South as Williamsburg, Virgina, and as far East as Falmouth, Massachusetts on Cape Cod.

Our smallest rally was the first, with seven stalwart teams gathered in Cape May, New Jersey in 1973, and our high water mark (historical echo intended) was at Gettysburg in 1999 with 262 teams!

For more information, pictures, patches, etc on any of the rallies, just click on the year button in the table below.

If you were an attendee at one of these rallies, you may be able to help us out! We’ve scanning the group photos from the rallies when one was taken and are in the process of putting names to the faces in the pictures. Years marked with an * have a group photograph. Click on the year and again to zoom the photo, and take a look.

Do you have pictures or any other memorabilia from past ETRs that you would like to display on this page? If so, please contact the webmaster.
