Embrace the Pace - June Rally

The bustling downtown of Nappanee Indiana is a busy gateway to Amish Country with friendly people, an on the go RV industry, and underneath it all, the quiet rhythms of Amish life. From motorcoaches, to buggies and sleighs, join us for a great weekend June 10-12, 2010. Denny and Linda Filson with the help of Steve and Cassie Lisle have put together a fun filled and educational weekend that we believe all will enjoy.

Members arriving on Thursday will enjoy leisure time to visit with friends. No dinner is scheduled however we suspect many will group together and go out to eat.

Friday morning we will enjoy a carry in of breakfast dishes, fruit and pastries. After breakfast we will be touring Precision Painting, a short drive away in Bremen. They specialize in full body painting, detailing, and interior renovations of coaches. It is a nationally advertised and known business. Open toed shoes are not allowed in their factory. In the afternoon we have a chance to watch a motorcoach be born from the first nail to the last as we tour the Newmar factory in Nappanee. Again, no open toed shoed are allowed. Friday evening dinner will be catered in the pavilion and will consist of lasagna, chicken alfredo, salad, a vegetable, breadsticks, and cheesecake with tea and lemonade included. We will have a guest speaker following dinner who will share with us the heritage and history of the Nappanee area. Saturday morning we will gather at the pavilion for another pitch in breakfast with contributions of your choice. Juice and coffee will be provided. Following breakfast, we have a unique opportunity to tour Martin’s Buggy shop where the makings of an Amish buggy will be explained and you will watch Amish craftsmen at work building and restoring buggies and sleighs. An added attraction is a large building filled with these gleaming jewels ready to purchase. We will also make a stop at the Union Center Store which is an Amish owned general store specializing in archery, guns, fishing equipment, Coleman supplies, kitchenware, and bulk foods. The owner told us he repairs all types of guns from antique to present ones and will be happy to ship yours back to you should you need one repaired. Another stop will take us to Mint City Millwork where we will tour the shop of an Amish man who makes beautiful Grandfather Clocks. Saturday evening will conclude with a wonderful traditional Amish dinner at Mullett’s Family dining, both prepared and served by the Amish. You will not want to pass on this dinner! Sunday morning the Rally masters will provide rolls and donuts, coffee and juice and breakfast will be followed by a short church service. That will bring this exciting rally to an end with farewells, wishes for safe travels, and anticipation as we look forward to our next time together.
