AIR Midwest Spring Rally 2012

Here's a brand new thread. Shane, I vote for you & Kathy to be the hosts. I will help you if you want. May 5 weekend is great. Reservations must be in early to get the 20% discount.

Someone will need to get with the campground. I have the owner' phone numbers.

Sounds great! I need to get Bambi all fixed up for rally. I'm calling Griffith RV in OKC in the morning for an appointment. I'm trying to decide if I want to spring for a side awning.

I can call them tomorrow to make sure they don't have any other events that weekend. If the owners number if different than the main you can pm it to me.
Ridgebackmom would you make the call to Bill Thomas when you can please. I am going to see if I can get Camping World to do something since they are so close to Acorn. I am pretty sure Blair is in board fir the spring rally but I don't know about prizes from them yet.

Ok people the dates are set. May 4th and 5th. You can make your reservations now. If you want to come in early and leave late you need to let acorn know. I have a few thoughts on what we can do for fun but nothing solid yet. The potluck will be Saturday evening and we will do mexican food. We will need a few things.
1, taco shells
2, fajittas
3, red ad green peppers
4, onions
5, chicken
6, beef

We need three nacho plates with chips on the side.

We will be doing a sombreo contest. I need input. Do we bring our own hats and judge from them or do I get plain hats and we decorate them at the park then judge? No we won't do costumes just the hat.

Does anyone have some Mexican type decorations we can use?

Pending good weather we will hold a horse shoe contest Friday evening. Teams will be who you share your trailer with.

Since we have seen most peoples trailers I was thinking we could skip the tour of trailers unless we get some new people that wanna show off or if the stars align and I get mine done! So hit me with some thoughts on what you guys wanna do Saturday afternoon.

Here's information for Acorn Acres, the campground in Branson which will host the AIR Midwest Spring Rally. The info is on the rally calendar, too. Don't forget to make reservations for this fun, laid back, Ozark Mountain rally. Branson in May is simply the best place to be!

Plan to be with us for this fun rally May 4th and 5th. All you need to do is reserve your site with the campground and rsvp on the calendar here in AirForums so we can keep up with how many to expect. Tell the CG you're with AIR Midwest Airstreamers so you'll get the discount. It's based on how many attendees we have as to how deep our discount. We're staying the whole week before the rally and several others will come early and maybe stay late, too.. Much to see and do in Branson and surrounding area!

This one fun Rally! My first rally was last Fall and I didn't know what to expect but we loved it! It is such a great group of people and do as much as you want or just hang out. Lots of stuff to do but the group is so much fun we tend to hang out and BS the day away. With Shane hosting its sure to be a fun one.

Jim and I will be there barring any unforseen circumstances...6 months away...who knows, but I know you can reserve and your credit card is not billed until you arrive, so no worries about losing your money. Just let them know closer to the date if having to cancel.
Shane, everything you've suggested sounds great so far! I think having the sombreros purchased in advance then everyone can bring what they will decorate them with and pay for it there. When it gets closer, someone can volunteer to pick those up at a party store & then can be reimbursed.
I'm sure there will be new people sign up to come, so the open house is always a treat, esp. for first-timers...but maybe could be done in an informal type way? Not sure, since I've only been to one myself!
Looking forward to seeing this great group of people again!

Sounds Great!

Well another spring another rally! We are so glad you are using Acorn Acres again. They are great and the place is wonderful!

Jack and I are coming home to Ozark Mo. For the holidays (Dec and Jan) from the island of American Samoa so we will miss out once again on seeing our old friends, new friends, great food, and many laughs....

We have been talking about a fall trip next year so we hope to plan our trip around rally time.

We miss our Airstream SO much.....We are going to live in her while in Missouri this winter....we will be skirting her, heat tape, insulation, you know the drill.... I bet we blow through some propane!

We will keep you with you all as usual

It was such a perfect day today that it makes me want to camp!! We are excited for the rally in May! It's Zells birthday on the 5th so I will have to plan a separate trip (it's his 40th) for the big day but were excited to spend it with y'all. What is it @ 6+ months? I can't wait for winter to be over and it hasn't even started yet!

I'm going to donate a ladies Citizen as well but I thought it looked cool. I'm excited to attend this one since we will be able to stay for the whole rally! Shane has some fun stuff planned!

Brad, That's a cool watch!

Shane, How about asking attendees to provide an Airstream themed donation, plus some cash?

See you both next year!

BTW, Acorn Acres was featured in the Springfield paper a week or two ago. Don't know if I still have the paper at school or if the art teacher got it already. I'll check tomorrow. If I still have it I'll hang onto it. Of course, they might already have a framed copy of the story up in the office.
