July Rally highlights

This was the first Pen-NY rally we attended this year. But --- boy was it worth it !!
Carol and Wilbur Shafer (with timely help from the Wordens) put together a great weekend. 

Pound Auction attendees

They planned for 15 coaches at the rally, but 21 signed up at Genesee Country Campground. The campground accommodated (fitting us in) and so did the Shafer's - with 15 showing up on Thursday and the rest on Friday. Not phased, Carol arranged for meals at restaurants on Thursday and Friday evenings and then things got serious... The Worden's pitched in and hosted the Friday "ice cream social".  Saturday morning breakfast was donuts and fruit followed by a meeting (more about that on another post).
The area around Caledonia has lots to do; so, I will mention the Shafer's plan for dinner. Did you know Carol's daughter is a caterer? Well, she made hamburgers, barbequed and froze them for our Saturday dinner. The rest was supplied by the culinary skills of our members.

Nelson and Larry

The Saturday evening "pound auction" was MC'd  by Nelson Hanson and Larry Kotar with special effects supplied by Bob Webster (in spite of spraining his knee in the shower). Laughing with them made the evening..
Sunday morning, we had a great breakfast supplied by the campground (included in the rally fee).
The Shafers showed that a good plan doesn't require a small army to make it work. If in doubt, just ask Carol how to do it.
