Today, we got up and headed over for continental breakfast at the rally hall again, and visited with more folks.
At 10:30, rig tours were planned, but we heard that there was a small vintage trailer group, called "Sisters on the Fly" that was staying at a nearby RV park in Santo. (Coffee Creek, where we had previous Chapter Rallies before.) so Tony and I decided to drive over and take a look. Here's a few pics:
We returned just in time to prep for the Rig Touring, and we were the first rig. We had lotsof folks come though and got lots of compliments on the floorplan.
(I forgot to mention they the day we arrived, we discovered our dining room fixture had broken and shattered all over the kitchen table! So other then that, we were pleased to show it off.
We toured quite a few rigs, some old and some new, including the new Landmark 365 Orlando floorplan that Debbie and Lin had just bought 9 days prior! It was beautiful, and we really like what they have done to the look of Landmark.
After rig tours it was lunchtime, so we ate, and then we made our potluck dish. We made Tony's mom's marshmellow fruit salad, then relaxed for a bit. (I think we both dozed off in the recliners!)
About 4 we went out and visited some more, running into Lou & Betty D, that had come in for the day to visit and attend the potluck. They were staying nearby on Mansfield to see family, and didn't realize they were so close to they rally! We got to show our rig and Dave & Nancy's new rig that are similar in floorplan -- but theirs is a BigHorn -- so they are some differences.
About 5:30 we went to get out potluck items and help out Dave and Nancy with any setup for the evening.
The group pic was at 5:45, and then potluck began with meat provided. We had tons of food, and everyone got a door prize. There was everything from cleaning products, bungee cords, wine, gift cards, and more.
A couple that happened to live in the park in their 365 Landmark also attended, and although they weren't members of the club, they happened to win the one year membership extension! I hope they join, they'll get 2 years for the price of one!
The big grand prizes were a truck/tire step, and two pack of Snap Pads, with all names back in the hat for those. Larry & Mary Ann O. won the snap pads, and Paul & Nan L. Won the step. They were both very excited!
After the festivities, we visited for a long time with Jason, Audra, Colton, Jay & Stella, talking about the history of the club, and how we got involved. We also talked about the tight knit community of RVing, and how you discover how small the world is sometimes while RVing. Stella then went to join the group playing dominos. We visited some more, then about 10, we headed home.
It was a fun day. I'm so glad to be a part of the Heartland Family.
