Rally Day Three

This morning we attended a session presented by a local RVIA Master Technician. It included information on lots of RV systems, so it was pretty quick and somewhat superficial, but we have some printed materials. We did pick up some good tips on exercising generators.

Next we went to a session presented by Jerry and Maddy Stephens on volunteering and workamping. They have had extensive experience in many venues and talked about opportunities we would never have even thought of, like working with a circus teaching workers' kids or putting together a Rose Parade float. Their stories were fascinating, and they provided some great resources.

We left that session and dashed home to finish cleaning up for the open house due to start at 12:30 p.m. Our home was on the open house tour for the first session, 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. One of us had to be at home to greet visitors while the other went to visit other rigs. During the second session, 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., we were able to walk around together to visit a wide variety of New Horizons rigs. We met the owners and got to see and hear about the special touches they have designed into their rigs. One home has a portable folding quilting table, and the area most people use as an entry closet is filled with small drawers of quilting squares.

This evening's dinner was tacos catered by the resort. They were okay, but not my favorite. The company was great, though. We sat with Willis and Rebecca and Bruce and Mary Sue again, and this time we were joined by Ken and Sue Raislegers. She is a line dancing enthusiast and interested in stringed instruments, so the Rosenbergers and Raislegers happily talked music and dancing. They ran a dance this evening too, while others played ladder ball and Monopoly or just socialized.


We did our walking this evening after it had cooled off a bit. The weather forecast is pretty grim for the next day or two, with severe thunderstorm warnings and a cold front arriving tonight.
