The Rally Begins, and Running Around

Tuesday, June 16

Today the North American Heartland Owners Club Rally officially began. 

I had to run up to the Marketplace pavilion to put up some posters around 8, so I did that, then came back home. Tony and I then went back to the Marketplace to drop off our "for sale" items. Three items sold quickly, so it gave us a little cash on our pocket. Yay! We looked at the vendor's wares in the Marketplace, then went by the outdoor vendors. There sure are lots of ways to part with your money, but we are enjoying getting to "look". 

At 11, we went to a seminar on water systems, which was very informative.

We returned home and ate lunch, then decided to run to Elkhart for our quest for parts and such. Tony wanted to get the truck's auxiliary fuel system checked at the original supplier, Dually Depot. We also wanted a Teflon pad permanently added to the hitch head.

We went first to Dually Depot, and had the work done there. Then headed to an RV surplus store or two and found 2 of 3 items we were looking for, and reasonably priced.

We stopped also at Walmart, and then again for some fast food before returning to the Fairgrounds. We ran over to the rally hall to make another poster change, then home.

We were not home for long, though, as there was a dessert and coffee meeting at 7pm, to go over agenda and questions about the rally.

After the event we again switched out posters. On the way home, there was a beautiful sunset. I only got a few pics and they didn't do it justice. 



More rain is to come. Meanwhile, in Texas, a tropical storm "Bill" has made landfall and is expected to drop lots more rain on Texas, where they really don't need it, causing more flooding. It may even eventually end up in this part of the country in a few days.

The fairgrounds are getting full of coaches, it's quite a sight to see. Tomorrow there are more interesting seminars as well as dinner and entertainment provided. Door prizes are a big hit, too. Rally On!
