Rally Masters Needed - You Can Help

We are needing rally masters for the July and September rallies.  Here are a few suggestions to help with planning a rally.  County fairgrounds work well for accommodating our group without the need for a definite number for reservations.  The following fairgrounds have been used in the past and I have checked their calendars to avoid their own county fairs.

 

Shelby County Fairground, Shelbyville IN  available July and September

Jefferson County Fairground, Madison IN  available July and September

Marion County Fairground, Indianapolis IN available July and September

Hendricks County Fairgrounds, Danville IN  available  September

Jasper County Fairgrounds, Rensselear IN  available September

Tipton County Fairgrounds, Tipton, IN  available September

 

Each fairground has varying facilities, costs, and hook ups. Also Ceraland Campground in Columbus, IN has worked well for our rallies. Check with the visitor center in the area and see what kind of activities might be available.  We are constantly adding new members so don't be hesitant to go back to an area where we have been before.  Wessels and Covingtons would be happy give you some pointers on planning and organizing a rally.   The most important part of any rally is just being together and having fun.

 

See you this summer
