Here's the Good Stuff!
Hello Folks:
I just received this information from the RV Park Owners in Branson, MO.
Please read: From Jim and Linda Smith, Ozark Campground.
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for requesting information regarding your rally in Branson in June or July of 2006.
We are happy to make any show or attraction reservations at any group rates available from the theater. For your outdoor meetings or gatherings, a large pavilion is available complete with picnic tables, a relaxing swing and chairs. An outdoor grill, water and electric hookups make your outdoor cooking experience easy at the campground pavilion. The pavilion has lighting for evening gatherings.
As you know, we also offer an indoor meeting room with a full kitchen for potlucks and pancake breakfasts or for playing cards or games or just relaxing. The indoor facility will seat 30-40 comfortably.
We hope you select Branson’s Ozark Country Campground RV Park for your stay. If so, you should notify us as soon as possible since we reserve sites a year in advance. At that time we will put a tentative hold on sites for you. Then 30 days in advance of your arrival we will need a roster with the names, addresses, number of people per unit, type and length of unit, and whether 50amp service is required. In addition to the roster, we ask you to enclose a check for $15.00 per site. We will issue you a confirmation letter at that time with a balance due later. When you arrive, we ask for one check for the remaining registration fee per the confirmation letter, any emergency cancellations will reduce the total owed. Rally’s and groups are offered a 35% discount off the regular site fee. The cost per night per site, at 2006 rates is $19.50 plus tax ( $20.67 per day), 50amp or additional people over 2 per unit is $3.00 extra per day. Everything is included with your site fees. Unlike other campgrounds we do not charge extra for the use of the clubhouse or facilities. Final confirmation of the total rigs arriving is required 2 weeks in advance of your arrival. We look forward to assisting you in developing your itinerary and hope you select our campground for your stay.

You will be hard pressed to find an RV Park that offers this much stuff at no extra cost. The Rate is excellent also.
Now, the Factory Tour stuff is OK, but that takes all of 3 hours and then what do you do?
Goshen, IN and Granger, IN aren't exactly entertainment capitals of the world. If you're gonna have a RALLY then have it in a place where other forms of entertainment are available for all RALLY participants, from Young Children and Grand Children to the Older Adults. Branson, MO offers that and more.
Branson is also very Centrally Located for most Owners. From Los Angeles to Branson, it's 1650 miles, vs. 2200 miles to Elkhart. What about the East Coast or Southern Borders and Florida. Branson is alot easier for those wanting to attend.
If you're just wanting to attend for Factory Tours and Some Trailer Repairs, that's fine, but who wants to have their trailer worked on All DAY!
Now, arguements can be made both ways for this. But, if this thing is gonna get off the ground, planning needs to start now.
I will send out a Mass Email to all Registered Users and see how many comments we get back and what the outcome is! If the response comes back positive for Branson, MO, I'll begin the planning process. If the response comes back positive for Granger, IN or Goshen, IN, someone else can do the Leg work and I'll back out and stay away!
That's about all for now!
Jeff
