It's been a busy week with lots of rally activities and plenty of conversation with old and new friends. The rally attendance totaled 13 couples and 3 singles in 14 rigs and one couple staying in a nearby cabin.
Each morning started with a radio net with attendees checking in, followed by announcements about the day's activities. Each morning also featured plenty of coffee and juice and breakfast. There were some periods of rain Tuesday thru Thursday, with cooler temps and lots of wind on Friday..
Tuesday featured a doughnut breakfast. There was a first-timers meeting, followed by registration for all. The opening ceremony was held in the afternoon followed by Happy Hour. Dinner was served by the host couples ( Sloppy Joes, pickles, potato chips, cake and ice cream). The evening brought games and time for fellowship.
Wednesday's breakfast was biscuits and gravy followed by a board meeting, then a general meeting. The ladies went to Applebee's for lunch and the men gathered for a Sardine lunch or whatever sandwich they prepared. The afternoon featured a book swap and flea market, followed by a seminar given by a local RV dealer rep. There was another Happy Hour, then a catered dinner which included roast beef and gravy, mashed potatoes, broccoli, rolls, salad and strawberry shortcake. More games followed in the evening.
Thursday's breakfast featured bagels with toppings, followed by a "free day" to explore the area. Many members traveled down the mountain to Mt. Airy where there are many references to Mayberry and Andy Griffith who was from this area. Hank and Selene enjoyed a quiet morning, then went exploring with Art and Betty Strong, fellow F-V residents and members of the same local Good Sam Club. We had lunch at the Saddle Mountain Cafe in nearby Ennis, NC then we took a nice ride through the beautiful mountain backroads before returning to the campground in time for Happy Hour. The evening featured the attendance prize drawings ( no wins for us.).
Friday dawned much cooler and very windy, but sunny. Breakfast was doughnuts and bagels. Hank gave a presentation about the club's website and answered related questions. Today will wind up the rally's activities with a final Happy Hour, followed by another catered dinner, closing ceremony and the drawing for the 50-50 prizes.
