Where?
- South African Potjie In Texas will be held at a new venue – CAMP SHILOH LUTHERAN RETREAT, 3335 FM 21 — PITTSBURG, TX 75686.
- Why the venue change?
- we have had numerous requests to alternate the venue;
- more cabins are available and in addition there are two dormitories for larger families and for those that just need a bed inside, this is an option as well;
- more common facilities are available like:
- dedicated commercial kitchen and dining hall;
- separate hall for evening events – do I hear sokkie;
- and an outdoor pavilion.
