What a May Rally!
Members must have been ready to get together and many arrived early just
to be with friends. There were a total
of 28 coaches and others drove to CERAland for the May Rally. After the coaches were parked on Thursday,
all members were invited to a vegetable soup dinner prepared by Trudy Landers
and Bettie Wessel. It was
delicious. That evening the Hoosier
Cruisers gathered around a campfire back at the campsites and baked “pudgie
pies” over the campfire. For those who
don’t know what “pudgie pies” are, they are small pies made with slices of
bread filled with pie filling and then baked with pie irons. Members were patient and waited while the
pies were being made. What a fun and scrumptious
way to end the day.
Friday began with a choice of two tours including the Cummins
Mid-Range Engine Plant or the Tri-State Artisans wine glass painting
class.

Both were enjoyable
experiences. In the afternoon participants
took a tour of Zaharakos Ice Cream Parlor where they still make their own ice
cream on site. The parlor opened in the
early 1900’s and was restored in 2006.
The tour ended with an ice cream sundae bar where everyone had sundaes. Supper was provided by Strawberry Fields on
the town square of Hope. The great meal
was followed by a business meeting.
Saturday was a day that the members could choose what
they wanted to do. Some went to the
discount mall, others followed the Architectural Trail, and still others
visited Nashville or Story, Indiana.
After a day of exploring the club gathered at the Recreation Building
and had a potato bar where the baked potatoes were furnished and members
provided the toppings. No one left
hungry. Steve Ruster and Jerry Covington
brought the firewood and we had a third huge campfire.
Sunday morning all were treated to a choice of a variety
of donuts and coffee. This was followed
by devotions which were led by Melanie Boyer.
Many thanks go to all who participated to make this rally
a success including Jerry and Trudy Landers, assistant rally masters, and
Bettie and Greg Wessel, rally masters.
Members left in anticipation of gathering again at
GLAMARAMA on June 3rd. Hope
to see you all there.
