GLAMARAMA 2023

 

The club had good interest at the Chapter Fair and members signed up new members.

Over 40 Hoosier Cruisers met at the Montage Restaurant in Greenville.  Members enjoyed an excellent buffet and fellowship.

Here is Hal Ashton pulling an Airstream trailer at the Airstream Heritage Museum.  It has trailers displayed from the 1930's to the present.

The rally included three nights of entertainment including the group Shannon Clark and Sugar.  The two other groups included music from the 50's which the audience sang along with the musicians.

You can see by the smiles of the ladies faces that they enjoyed the luncheon and the speaker at the Ladies Tea.

The Watter's hosted an afternoon gathering to meet the new members.

Great area rally.

Having Fun in Lincoln

 The August Rally was “roaring success” thanks to the Tilmanns and Watters. The two couples planned and organized an event that included visiting the RV/MH Museum with the best collections of vintage RV’s in the United States.  They also provided great meals including chicken from Nelson’s.  The “happy hours”, and campfires provided an opportunity to renew friendships and create new one. Many thanks go to both couples.
