FMCA Rally at Albert Lee, MN

We arrived on the first day we could, Tuesday. It then turned into a wet mess. Tons of rain turned much of the fairgrounds into a mud bog. We had to stay put until Wednesday morning when it dried up a bit But no more people were allowed to park on the grounds. They were redirected to the high school parking lot for the duration. Sort of spoiled the event for many I'd guess. We drove cart to move handicapped folks around on Thursday and Wednesday evenings. That was nice and we met many of the Badger charpter folks. Great time and great folks. Can't say the same for the rally itself. I'd have to say much of it was poorly ran. No food on the grounds or even soft drinks or coffee. The seminars were ok in about half the cases, but many were just sales pitches not educational really. Due to the weather the evening entertainment was moved into the horse barn. Ok for wenesday, but not after that. Hot, and generally unpleasant surroundings. Spend a bit and get a covered stage. I know they were concerned about weather, but....

Many folks I talked to felt the same way and especially those put out of the fairgrounds. Didn't seem like the city did much either. No listing of churhes/locations/service times or other events..

Not sure I'd attend agin. But many stated this was the exception, not the rule, so I guess we'll see.

No photos, nothing remarkable to show. Only Winnies and Newmars on display. No one from Tiffin or their dealers.

Ross is recently retrenched out of the tech industry. And grumpy about it. No, not really, just a bit. I get sacked so management can make more money for themselves. Sound fair? Hummm, not so much. Oh well, seems to be the way of the world nowdays. Mary is in the healthcare IT business. Which seems to be doing ok at the minute.
