Marion, NC; Twelfth Night

Today dawned sunny and stayed that way for most of the day.  Most important fact - no rain today.

Our day started early, and we headed outside for a leisurely stroll to the pavilion to get another cup of coffee, then to the RV dealership where hundreds of donuts were waiting for the Good Sam gang to enjoy.  Fueled with the ample sugar supply in the donuts, we strolled back to the rally park, spent some time visiting, headed back to the pavilion to pick up our 'goody bag' and buy some more raffle tickets.

Lunchtime found us strolling again, this time to a nearby site where one chapter was selling barbecue sandwiches. After lunch, we met up with our fellow chapter members -now totaling 10 counting us - for a discussion about the State Committee Meeting we attended last night.  Dad returned to the trailer and I played two games of beanbag baseball (finished second among 4 teams), then played bingo (won $15 today), then I returned to the trailer for dinner.

Tonight was the official opening ceremony for the rally, followed by entertainment by Sunday Drive. The three pictured on the website were joined by a steel guitar player and en electric guitar player.  This group was actually a replacement act but they were accomplished musicians and the girl singer was fantastic. They did a mix of country, oldies, and gospel with a lot of comedy dialogue thrown in, and deserved their standing ovation.

There were lots of prizes drawn at intermission and after the program, and we won a large discount coupon from a hose company - not exciting to most, but good hoses are important to RVers.

Another enjoyable day has passed and we look forward to another activity-filled day tomorrow.
