"The Rally"

Destiny Mall

Mall Parking lot

Good Sam names their bi-annual rally as "The Rally". The summer rally this year was in Syracuse. About a dozen Fingerlakers decided to attend with Johnson's and Moses volunteering and staying for the whole week. (Dan and Carol Begy worked the Adventure Caravan booth, and Sprouts worked the Jekyl Island booth). As seems to be the case lately, the weather decided to make it's presence known - monsoons mid-week, flooding much of the infield of the NY State fairgrounds.  Those of us arriving Thursday ended up self-parking at Destiny Mall - about 500 rigs, I guess. Good Sam did a pretty good job of making the best of the situation. Friday, the weather improved and we began to dry out. Some folks were thinking of planting flowers around their units and leaving.

Camping World gave away $10,000 in door prizes

Reba

There were about 2500 campers, lots of vendors, RV's and food. Camping World.- which is no surprise - was will represented.
Friday night entertainment was a highlighted by Wayne Newton and his band. At 71, his voice is lost a little smoothness, but he put on a very entertaining 1 1/2 hour show.
Saturday night entertainment was headlined by Reba McEntire who put on a fantastic performance.
All in all - it was a good time.
