French Lick Here We Come!

It's never too early to plan ahead. Bettie and I have scoped out southern Indiana for interesting and fun places to visit. The May Rally is planned for April 29th through May 2nd. These dates were selected to avoid conflicts with Mother's Day and the GLASS Rally. We hope that the weather will cooperate with this decision.

So where are we going......How about the French Lick area? Have you ever visited West Baden, the hotel and casino, since it was renovated? This is a beautiful area that contains unique architecture. During the rally members will have an opportunity to take a guided walking tour and ride on a train of restored train cars.

So you want more? We also will be visiting Jasper, IN. What's in Jasper? There is the Jasper engine plant where engines are rebuilt, and we will be touring the plant. What else? For the history buffs, the Dubois County Museum can be toured for a donation to the museum. Bettie and I were fascinated in the displays. For example they have a saw mill exhibit from the early 1900's. They also had this unique tricycle for two.

Arrangements have also been made to visit Dr. Ted's Musical Marvels. This attraction houses an eclectic collection of mechanical musical intruments that includes nickelodeons, music boxes, and player pianos. Great Fun!

Okay, so where are we going to stay? Plans have been made to stay at the West Boggs County Campground. This is a lovely campground with many of the sites located right on the lake. Yes, you will be able to say that you stayed on lake front property.

Oh, one last thing. For those of you who come for the food, we will be eating at Stoll's Lakeview Restaurant where we will enjoy a buffet of amish food. We have a private room and will have a business meeting following dinner.

So, mark you calendars for a rally that you won't want to miss.
