SEFFNER, FL: Rally Time, We're Here!

Today we drove 2 hours southeast from Inglis, FL to Seffner, FL just east of Tampa.  We're at Lazydays Campground which is adjacent to the Lazydays dealership. This location's facilities are used for many large rallies throughout the year. We are here for the American Coach Association Rally (American Coach is the manufacturer of Little House). and other activities.   In addition to the usual campground amenities, there is free cable, free Wi-FI, free daily newspaper delivery at your site, free breakfast and lunch 6 days a week in the Front Porch Restaurant, and the opportunity to longingly gaze at the many RV's for sale. Also on the property is a Flying J fuel center, a Cracker Barrel Restaurant, a large RV supply store, and then there's the big cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg just down the road along with a large casino nearby.

We did a quick setup when we arrived, then went to a First-Timer's meeting in the Rally Center at 3 P.M.  At 4 P.M, the free bar service started serving wine, beer, and soft drinks to accompany the appetizers of chilled shrimp, crackers and cheese, and a variety of fresh fruits.  Then it was time to move to the tables loaded down with pans of  shrimp boil which  included corn on the cob, potatoes, and mussels, accompanied by tossed salad and cornbread.  You should realize by now that we will not go hungry during the next 11 days! At least, we'll get a little exercise as we walk back and forth from site 274 to the Rally center for the various rally activities.

We will be here until January 25 while we take part in the ACA Southeastern Rally, followed by a chapter rally (Happy Wanderers) and the Fleetwood Rally (Fleetwood is the parent company of American Coach).
