Northeast Area 2012 Rally Page

We have added a new TAB at the top of our blog for the Northeast Area Rally July 19th-22nd (Actual departure is Monday the 23rd).

This is the 20th anniversary of the rally and lots of new exciting things are planned.

Afterwards, it's a great drive along the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario from Essex Junction to Harborfest in Oswego where early arrival on Wednesday will be greeted with a fish fry. 
Check out the "July, 2012 Harborfest" information on the tab above.

Harborfest Update

From Jim & Sherry Miller
-----------

We now have a registration form and itinerary for the Harborfest rally. With the help of Camping World sponsoring the Sunday night dinner we were able to keep the price close to two years ago despite some big cost increases.
 
The folks at Harborfest are promising some great entertainment for their 25th anniversary event including both  well known country and jazz performers on Sunday afternoon as well popular acts on Thursday through Saturday. New this year will be tall ships at the pier and a War of 1812 reinactments. They will announce the performers by the end of March so we will update you all. They are also going to be giving away a new Dodge Challenger in their raffle this year. Two years ago a rally attendee won the big cash prize in this raffle so don't miss out. Once again they will be bringing the trolley right to the front of our lot to get you to the festival.
 
Janet at Calico Gals quit shop is planning some sort of activity for the group, probably on Friday morning. The fishing trip aboard Top Gun is also Friday morning. Two years we caught over 20 brown trout and 5 of the 6 people have already signed up to go again. We have one boat full already but there is a second boat available. The boats are both beautiful 40 footers. I have fished with these captains before and they did a great job. Trip will be 120.00 each including the tip. If you want to go let me know ASAP so we can reserve the second boat.
We are providing the entire meal this year for the Wednesday  fish fry. We will have fried and grilled fish, salt potatoes and cole slaw.
 
The Port Authority has told us we can have the fenced in area if we have more people so don't hesitate to invite a friend. If they are not in FMCA that's OK. We had 4 non FMCA coaches at the rally two years ago and at least 2 of them joined FMCA later.
 
If you want to help out for a couple of hours let us know we could use some help at the coffee hours, meals and last day cleanup.
