    SUMMARY

    Our Fall Rally, the first held outside of Ohio, was a success despite the constant rain on Friday and cloudy skies all weekend. There was food aplenty all weekend, starting with the Friday night feast. The first annual Pink Flamingo Benefit Auction was also quite a success generating over $200 to help our poor plastic friends find good camping homes. The Thanksgiving dinner was just enormous, if anyone didn't get more than enough too eat, it was their own fault. Never before have so many different things been deep fried for one dinner. Deep fried pickles, anyone? We had them! Of course the majority of our campers were disappointed with the PSU-OSU outcome, but not all of us, including your humble webmaster. But even if they were disappointed with the game, there were still plenty of snacks to lift their spirits!

    A special thank you goes out to RV.net and Camping World who provided us with a wonderful array of giveaways, including t-shirts! Since we had more than enough of everything to go around, the leftover stuff was shipped out to our boys in Iraq, care of Steve and Sharyl's son Jason. Thanks Roger for getting all that stuff AND our new banners and thanks Larry for shipping it out to Jason!

    Rally dates were also planned for next year. We're all looking forward to another great season of camping together in 2006!
