Marion, NC: Thirteenth Night

Today was the last full day of rally activities.  We started the day at the pavilion, dropping in tickets for the Chinese Auction. Of course that was followed by some more socializing, then a visit to a vendor (campground) to arrange a club campout in August.  Lunch was actually cereal, since we hadn't eaten breakfast, then we went back to the pavilion for the Ice Cream Social (Klondike Bar).  The Chinese Auction drawings for over 200 prizes were held, but we didn't win any.  Pretty soon it was time for Bingo, and I won the last coverall for $52. Bingo has been very good to me this week.  After a short time at the trailer, we went to the pavilion once again to pick up our dinner consisting of chopped barbecue, sauce, slaw, hush puppies,  baked beans and peach cobbler, which we chose to eat in the comfort of our trailer (it was a pretty chilly day).  Tonight was a theme parade (Mad Hatters), followed by entertainment by the Keith Longbotham Band, consisting of Keith (lead singer guitar, banjo), 2 other guitar players/singers and a female fiddler. The music was a mix of country, oldies and a little gospel (sound familiar?), and mixed again with humorous stories....another enjoyable evening.  Many more prizes were handed out, but not to us.  However, my bingo winnings for the week made up for that!!

Tomorrow, final hugs and handshakes will be given and the rally park will empty rather quickly, but we'll stay put in our Little House on the Road for the time being.
