    SUMMARY

    This was the inaugural Ohio Rally, the brainchild of Steve Sands (ssands) and Larry Cadman (larry cad). According to Steve, he and Sharyl (his wife) drove all over looking for some place to hold the first event. Denny Harper (Joyden) told them about Baylor Beach. After a quick visit, it was obvious that campground would work very well for what we needed. And it did. But, in Steve's own wods, "the success of the first Ohio rally was not anything Larry or I had done. It was because of the people who attended. It was their willingness to be open to visit with others they had never met before that made this thing a success." That may be true, but none of this could have happened without Steve, Sharyl, Larry, and Linda's (Larry's wife) hard work!

    For many in attendance, this was their first rally of any kind they had attended and came away realizing how fun these things can be. We had a wonderful time roasting hot dogs around our big community fire and getting to know each other the first night, and an even better time the following day with our flea market, potluck dinner, and door prize raffle. Oh, and the surprise Kentucky Derby contest! It didn't take long for everyone to figure they wanted to do this again soon!

    Thanks also go out to all the sponsor companies that provided the door prizes and welcome goodie bags. Please support these companies if you can and maybe even send them an email of thanks. They can be found in the Resources section to the left.

  • Making fun of Jayco-popup's luxurious rig. Thanks for being a good sport, you know we love you!
  • Larry cad's fantastic satellite reception or lack there of and his wheeling and dealing to try and switch spots with ssands so he could watch NASCAR.
  • Chemgoddess1 winning the grand door prize and proudly displaying them at her campsite...beautiful pink flamingos!
  • Getting a member of The Traveling Leprechauns to take our group pictures
  • Something about ssands' rig getting TP'ed and a 6 foot bunny greeting him at the door…
