Gerry, Gerry Gerry. This is the one weekend we will not be able to make due to a family reunion on the 24th.
I'm bummed. We have been to all five Michigan rallies and will hate to miss this one.
I feel like a traitor.
Rats!

Peace
Dave

 

[TGLBWH]

Sorry Dave, It is actually the same weekend our rallys have been the past several years. I made this one closer to you than Deb and I, too. We will miss you or you can get the family to change---good luck with that one and say hi to Mary

Rick and Blanca, Look forward to seeing both of you. Let me know where you will be all summer and if you will be in Goshen.

 

[Hockster]

I have it on the calendar.
I love the Upper, and we are planning on being there.

[bighornby]

not sure if we can make it next year. we will try but its a long way for us who have limited holidays and are using most of them for the national rally. looks like a nice area tho!

 

[TGLBWH]

Hopefully it will work out for you, Unfortunately I can't make the Ontario Rally just before Goshen because the DW has to work.

I made our reservations yesterday 2 Jan. 2013 with Debbie.
Debbie says she will be in our area this winter also, and I told her to call us and we can have a get together.
We arrive on the 18th of Aug and leave on the 26th of Aug
We are presently spending the Winter in Gulf Shores, AL. should be home sometime the middle of April.

I made our reservations today. All they had left were 30 amp back in sites but she put me on a waiting list for a 50a if one comes available.

I wonder if they are coming to the Tampa RV show. Did she happen to say?

 

[TGLBWH]

I am also on a 30 amp site which in northern Michigan at the end of August should not present a problem since the nights are generally pretty cool by then. Debbie said a lot of her people that stay all summer never have had a problem with it.
Debbie told me she was going to be in Orlando for a couple of weeks and will still be taking calls from there. She even mentioned going to the Floribama lounge while down there, fun place

 

[DonnyB007]

My wife and I will try and book a 30 amp site today and if one is available, we will be there.


Update: all booked with Debbie - see you there!


Shirley and Don Benedict
from Ontario Chapter

 

[Hockster]

I told her about the Flora-Bama, told her to call me if she is close by and she could join us.
That's where I was when Debbie returned my call for the Michigan rally reservations.
Every Wednesday you'll find me there from 12:00pm until around 5:00pm.
If you bring a passing dish, you eat for free.
The Flora-Bama provides the meat and salad and we supply the rest.
If you don't bring a passing dish, the cost is $3.00.
We drink a lot of beer and play a lot of cards.
They also have a different live band playing every week, and they are very good.
This runs from the first Wednesday of January thru last Wednesday of February.
It is called Welcome Wednesday, welcoming back all the Snowbirds.
When you enter with your dish, you are given a ticket for your meal and drawing tickets.
They have giveaways from the drawing tickets.
Last week we won a Flora-Bama T-shirt and a free breakfast at a local restaurant on our 2 tickets.
The have a website called florabama.com., check it out.
We love Alabama, the welcome the Snowbirds every year, they love us here, about 2/3 of the Snowbirds are from Michigan.

Later
