EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: OR, North Bend - 7/11/2014 to 7/13/2014

Hi Pat,
You would need to take it in to Porter's. They talked about getting people in during the few days before the rally or between the rally and the Jamboree.

Anyone taking advantage of this offer will need to tell the service manager who will probably have to talk to the owner until everyone there knows what's going on.

I plan to call and talk to them as soon as school is out. I can't get away from the kids during these last few days.

thanks for the pen. If we have three or four pens to hook together, it would give people enough room to let their dogs off leash to wander for a few minutes.

Hello Everyone!

Here is an update on the rally now that we are just over a month away.

We just had our 25th coach sign up today. Welcome to the Wilsons (WeRWilsons) from Modesto, CA!

The Friday appetizer potluck is still on. It usually starts at about 5pm and goes until ???

i got the final plans for the potluck Saturday night. Porter's RV along with our Owners Club will be having the Mill cater the meat for dinner. We will be having smoked tri-tip and smoked roasted chicken.

That means we only need side dishes and desserts that night. Please bring enough to serve at least 8-10 with your dish. I'm pretty sure we will have close to 60 people that night.

Also on Saturday, we will do the traditional Raffle. Please bring an unwrapped prize valued at around $15-$20. It doesn't have to be RV related. We always have a good time with the raffle both during the giveaway and during the "horse trading" that goes on afterward.

We will plan on the breakfast burrito farewell breakfast at the Yurt at around 8 am.

When you check in to the rally Friday starting at noon, I will have a volunteer sign-up sheet so everyone can pitch in. I really appreciate the help and people seem to have fun with the "chores".

Thats it for now!

Oh, oh, one more thing..... The sweatshirts shipped today. I can hardly wait to see how they turned out. The rally hangers have arrived already. It's starting to look like rally time at our house!

I just added this to the top post and wanted to make sure everyone saw it.

New!!!
After finding that we will not be needing main course dishes for the potluck, I think we can split up the sides and desserts to make sure we are covered for both. Please plan your dish to serve at least 8-10 people.

So -
If your last name is A through L please bring a salad or vegetable dish to share.

If your last name is from M through Z please bring a dessert.


Our rallies have gotten big enough now that I think I need to be a little more organized in setting up dinner.

We were a little lopsided on dishes last year and we ran out of salads, so doing it this way should help everyone with planning what to bring and make sure we have enough of all of the types of dishes for everyone.

Naturally, if you have some favorite dish you really want to bring, you may do so or you could bring it to the Friday night "appetizer" meet and greet party.

Thanks for understanding!

We are less than a month away! But there is still a few days to make reservations at the rally rate and be put in our area. It's not too late to register for the Jamboree and be able to stay in the same site for both events. June 25th is the deadline for those specials.

Saturday at morning we will have muffins in the party site to start off the day. Those taking the boat ride ($30 per person) will leave at noon. We will get back at around 3:30 so dinner will be at the Yurt at 6 pm.

You will get a full schedule when you check in starting Friday at noon and pick up your goody bag.

That's it for now.

Kristy

PS it's not too late the sign up for the WA rally and join the caravan!

Nancy and I are downtown. Enjoyed Wingfest and will see the group at the buffet at the Eldorado tonight!

Doris and I are heading down to North Bend on Thursday. We'll be going down I-5 and are wondering whether 126 to Florence or 38 to Reedsport is an easier towing route. Any opinions are welcome.

We are really looking forward to the next three weeks with two rallies, a jamboree and a major caravan.

 

[gardengal]

Both are nice routes, I prefer 38, but that is my opinion. Either one is an easy pull. The bonus for going 38 is you go past the Sugar Shack Bakery in Reedsport, Kristy can agree to this, the rig always stops. safe travels, Diana

 

[For20hunter]

We go down 38 to Reedsport which is a beautiful drive along the Umpqua river and an easy drive.

We arrived today and used Hwy 38. I understand that there is a local country fair coming up that may make hwy. 126 a slower way to get here. I don't know the exact dates, but it might be worth checking into before using that route.

So far we have the Holes, Zumwalts, Sullivans, and Hardts here that we have spoken to. There is a Sundance and a North Trail in the park we haven't talked to yet. It will be interesting to see if they are part of our group or accidental attendees like we've had in the past.

Looking forward to everyone else getting here.

Everyone made it here safely and the meet and greet went well. We have 49 people this year and several of them have never been to a rally before. Now we have breakfast snacks and prize collection to do in the AM with our boat tour to follow. I've ordered 30 lbs of smoked tri-tip and chicken for dinner Sat. night as our main dish. Eating seems to be something everyone is really good at! Raffle after dinner (a couple of bigger prizes and some very limited edition etched Owner's Club glassware will be included) will set off a string of trading wars. Breakfast Sunday AM. Lots of talking, touring and story swapping all the time.

65 degrees and no wind Friday. Hopefully that continues Sat.

Kinda makes you wish you were here doesn't it? LOL

Kristy

PS Thanks Heartland, Porter's RV and The Mill Casino and RV Park for helping us put this rally together. We couldn't do it without your support.

 

[Rodbuster]

Met some nice people yesterday.
Fran and I were going right by the Mill Casino on our way to Tillamook, OR. We decided to stop by and say "Hi" to some friends that we had not met yet.
We met Dave. Pat, Mark, Steve and Rod & Kelly. They seem like great people but most of all, they seem like "fun" people. Really looking forward to the Washington Rally. We couldn't make this rally because of prior commitments that we made with other people over 6 months ago.
I'm going to try and behave at the Washington Rally....these people really like their "pooches". GEEZE! You should see the size of these dogs. I really don't want to get on anyone's bad side.
See you guys soon.
Dick

Just finished dinner and raffle - what awesome food and great people. Thank you so much to Kristy and Mark! Thank you also to the sponsors: Mill Casino, Porters RV and, of course, Heartland. Looking forward to a special breakfast tomorrow then a week of down time before the Jamboree and then the caravan to the Washington rally. It is starting out to be a fabulous month!!!
