This is an update of what I have planned for Sept 2008. The other thread was mostly pre-planning. We have plenty of time but if we want
to get together in the Fall, we need to start somewhere. Once we get past the Spring Northeast Rally, we need to get serious, set up committies and reserve some sites at the campground. At that time I
will definatly want a co-wagonmaster if not sooner.
Right now I'm leaning towards Sept. 2008, 1st weekend after Labor Day weekend. The dates would be Thurdsay 9/4 to Sun. 9/7. I think most people like a four day rally. I would like to see a Meet and Greet the first night. Would need someone to take charge as the date gets closer next summer. After the Meet and Greet we could have the gift swap. That was a lot of fun at the NE Rally. If we came in on Thursday night, the Meet and Greet would be Thursday Night, with the Gift Exchange to follow.
Friday could be a Breakfast of omlets in a bag, (if someone there knows how to make them). Campers can sign up for other items. The rest of the day could be free.
Friday night could be a Pot Luck with everyone bringing something.
Saturday could be another free day with bon fire and finger foods, bring your own hot dogs to cook on the fire.
Sunday could be a continal breakfast with easy foods brought by the members. That would fill a 3 night camp stay. Thursday night in, Sun. morning out. I would like at least 2 days of free time because I have never seen the actractions in the area and many who will come haven't either.
Let's try to keep comments on this thread under Rallys. I would also like to see as many as 15 units at least. I have checked out Walnut Hills Campground and it's about the same rate as the NE rally. They have nice sites, some of our members have been there and it comes highly recommended.

Let's see if we can make this the next Virginia Region Rally. I would also like someone to step in and be our assisted wagon masters. I would hate to put all this work into it and for some reason not be able to carry through. It's always good to have another couple who would carry on.
Any other suggestions welcome. We got plenty of time.
