Northeast Area Rally Pen-NY Mixer Highlights



Being responsible for door prizes for the FMCA Northeast Area Rally, we gathered over 150 for this year's event.
We want to thank Camping World in Churchville, NY for their generous donations and assistance obtaining door prizes.
Also, among door prizes, were 21 contributed by Chapters which celebrated the beauty, activity and products of their area. Hopefully, these chapters will receive appreciation beyond our gratitude.
With about 550 attendees (slightly more than last year), visitors enjoyed the numerous activities and beauty available in the Green Mountains of Northern Vermont.
Thank you to Sandy Wollaber and Celene Moses for their help and the many hours they spent distributing door prizes.
We hope to see more folks next year.
One other note: The temperatures were in the 80's, with lot's of sun, and the entertainment was very good. Rally cost was $180 including water and 30 amp electric for 5 nights.
