August Rally Highlights

This month, Walt and Beryl Linden hosted a weekend in their back yard surrounded by the Avon Corn Festival.  We ate at the Golden Corral, the Country Diner, had catered pulled pork and turkey, a full breakfast, played games in his yard and burned his fire wood.  All this was done in spectacular weather in spite of the rain before we arrived. Walt’s new generator supplied the electricity we needed.

After rain, grass yards can have this tendency to jump up and bite a camper. This year it happened to Les and Betty Sliker. They thought they got stuck coming in and guess what, they got really stuck. Buried the left rear jack about 6-8 inches. Roy manned the shovel to get the jack out. Fortunately, Harold hooked trailer hitches to his car and was able to get the coach loose.

September Rally

There is information about the September rally on the TAB's above. Look's like fun. Please check out the agenda and application.

Coffee Pot Update

As those who were at the rally in Olcott, NY know, our 25th anniversary coffee pot did a swan dive off the table holding it.
Parts were available, but not the same as our 15+ year old pot. After a couple of false starts, we have combined parts from the web and hardware store plumbing adapters.
I am enjoying a "delicious cup of hot vinegar" right now.
Check it out this weekend.

Harborfest July Rally

Harborfest has turned into a major event with 93 +/- campers coming. It was now a joint rally with the New York Centrals, Pen-NY Mixers and Vintage Bluebirds.
The mayor of Oswego, Charlie Adcock (FMCA President) and Tom Ziobrowski (NEA vice president) visited. A cloud burst on Monday damped us but not our spirits. 

Fingerlakers play a major part as Harold Wollaber, the Sprouts, and Wordens along with rest of us worked through the weekend (5 days) to help make it a success.  Fingerlakers continue to have one of the largest representations and our tent is what made the rally possible. We had a fish fry, pizza dinner and breakfast every morning along with Harborfest and all its entertainment and craft shows

.

JIM and SHERRY MILLER conceived the to come to Harborfest and continue to lead us each time we have done this.
