Things are moving forward in our plans for next year's rallies. The fairgrounds in Waterloo has agreed to let us use a building for group activities while there. The Memorial Day committee is finalizing their list of activities and I should have a schedule within the month. We will have a $10.00/day parking fee and once I have a schedule I will be able to determine a rally fee. I believe it will be a four day rally, dry camping. Things going on include a parade, fireworks, car show(including Woodies which were originally made in Waterloo), arts and crafts, food vendors, horse and wagon tours, music, contests, and a large living history exhibition. If you get bored, the Women's Rights National Historic Park is near-by, you are not far from the Fingerlakes M all, and there are several museums in the area. If you go towww.waterloony.com and click on Memorial Day, they have a lot of information about the event. The site is currently under construction while they update it from last year's program.
Our 25th Anniversary week end will be June 17-19 at Camp Bell Campground in Campbell, NY. You will need to make your own reservations by going online to www.campbellcampground.com for the next month or so. After that you can call 800-587-3301. You need to mention that you are with the Pen-NY Mixers rally. There will be a comment section online for you to add that info. You need to do this by April 1 to be with the group. After that date, the reservations open up to first come first served and you might be placed in a different part of the campground. You are welcome to come in a day early if you wish. If we get more than 10 coaches, we will get a group discount.
We do not have a rally scheduled for July or August. I have just received an email from a new RV park located on the St. Lawrence shipping channels just 3/10 of a mile from Rt. 81 and the Thousand Island Bridge. They will give a discount for FMCA groups. Check out www.swanbayresort.com and let me know if you would like to host it.
We are going to the National FMCA rally Aug. 3-6 in Massachusetts. They are looking for volunteers to help. Let me know if you plan to attend so that we could arrange to park near each other, and if you'd like to volunteer.

Walt Linden has invited the Pen-NY Mixers to a Fingerlaker rally in Avon, NY on August 12-14, 2016 if the weather holds. This is during the corn festival in Avon.
Our September rally will be at the Wings of Eagles Discovery Center September 22-25. Pat and Howie are the wagon masters.
Lastly, I have contacted Olive Garden Restaurant at the mall in Horseheads and they will let us have a room for a group gathering. I am thinking January 29 around 1:00 pm. Please let me know if you are interested. If I get a good response, I will set things up.
Hope to hear from you!
