The members of the Coalition of Historical Trekkers would like to thank the following individuals, businesses and institutions who have given their support for the 2008 National CoHT Gathering at Fort Osage in Sibley, Missouri.
-- Our sincere thanks and appreciation go to the staff and management of Fort Osage in Sibley, MO for allowing us to, once again, hold our annual gathering on their site, and for all the support and assistance they give to help this event come off.
http://www.fortosagenhs.com/-- Once again, we owe a VERY special thanks to Bryan “Tater” Everhart, CoHT state rep for Kansas, and booshway for the CoHT National Gathering.
