Hi everyone,
Debbi and I want to thank all of you who attended the awesome 2009 So Cal Fall Rally in Buellton, CA. My wife deserves much applause for doing most of our work, while I rested up from my back surgery, and pointed alot. Everyone had a great time, and we had full participation in every activity from the Italian Dinner Buffet (too much food), the Potluck Dinner, Sunday nite BBQ hamburger and hot dogs,, two raffles that were successful, wine tasting, golf, every night firepit and talk, and all the meet and greets and socializing with all our new and old Heartlander good friends.
Everyone met and made new friends, especially us, and wow to all who came from Canada, Florida, Oregon, Nevada and all our good friends from CA, especially all the helpful So Calers.
We really appreciate all the help we got especially from Stacy and Butch Joyner. Both of them were there for us every day, rain or shine, to help out with everything we asked them to do and more. We also wish to thank everyone who came, enjoyed and chilled with us. It was an amazing, smooth rally, and we loved it. What was really wonderful is that almost every single person stayed involved with all the activities, and offered help and assistance without even being asked. You can now call me the So Cal delegator, as everyone pitched in to take up the slack for me.
We really missed our So Cal Chapter leader, Bob and Patty, Dave and Kathy Timpone, and Marybeth among others who for various reasons couldn't share our fun and games and missed the rally. Thank you Jim and Nancy Beletti, for coming out from Chicago and to Pismo RV who sponsored Fri nite dinner and See Grins RV for both showing 3 2010 Heartland rigs, including a Big Horn 3610RE and a Landmark Grand Canyon (Pismo RV),and Big Country (See Grins RV) . AWESOME! All the rallygoers came over and checked out all 3 beautiful rigs. Can't wait to see the new changes to the 2011 models.
Debbi and I wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving and hope to see you all down the road. We thank you all for allowing us to be the Wagon Master and Madam, as we had a ball. If you ever want us to throw another rally, just let us know. It proves that hard work and strong planning and mucho participation result in a great party. We will always remember this rally as the high point of our RVing experience..... so far. All of you feel free to keep in touch with us, camp with us, and most of all, Debbi and I wish to thank all of you who posted such great reviews of the rally. We couldn't have done it without you.
