Rained last night but let's hope the heavy stuff is over.

We are almost ready to start the fun, thanks for the help from some volunteers as we got our goodie bags all filled and have a couple of really nice surprises in them, thank you to the folks who donated their talent for them.

Also want to thank some dealers and vendors who donated funds and prizes for us to hand out:
Keystone RV Center (aka Pete's in the near future) for a cash donation the helped supply the food for the spaghetti dinner and pancake breakfast and a little bit more.

Bill's Happy camper, Shady Maple RV and Stoltzfus of Adamstown Pa and also General RV for wonderful door prizes and continued support of FROG Rallies

TST and also H2O also for their information and also swag and even product for a giveaway!!!!

Beth even arranged a goodie basket form her Pampered Chef friend so someone will be lucky with some new kitchen gadgets.

I would also like to give my wonderful wife credit for shopping for prizes and bundling things to form that COMPLETE gift (her hidden talent).

Safe travels to the few yet to arrive, we are waiting for you, Beth and I hope everyone attending has a good time.

The photo is just some of the things ready to award our guests with even more in my basement

Great pictures Doc, well the first day went well, everyone got settled in enjoyed a spaghetti dinner, especially seeing attendees did not have to cook on arrival day, had some fun introducing a couple of new games and everyone left with a nice goodie bag with some great contributions from some wonderful FROGs. Thanks to the following:
Omaha Girl for making pot scrunchies

Doc for signs for everyone's unit and his lovely wife for making bowl holders for hot bowls from the micro-wave.

Mel Querry for the cutting boards that are really a work of art, so much my wife does not want to scratch it by cutting on it

This morning is a discussion to try and help folks with issues with their camper, you know while at a rally tap the knowledge you have on hand you can really be surprised how much some folks really know or possibly already experienced. Then fun time at the park followed by a potluck and door prizes!!!

Really sorry we are missing Brass Ring for the first time since Beth and Rennie started it this year.

Laura is just not recovered from Covid and her other ailments that really weakened her. As a kidney transplant recipient, her weakened immune system made the shots much less effective than they would have normally.

She has lost 70 pounds since the last Goshen (and not in a good way) so many of you won't even recognize her.

We are working like crazy to get her strong enough for Goshen.

Hope to see you all there!
Happy camping!
