Our rally was a great success. We have a huge unit spanning 2 Canadian provinces, but people were willing to make the drive even with the high price of fuel. We had a total of 22 trailers plus 4 couples had to stay in B&Bs because their trailers couldn't make it for various reasons.

The weather was very co-operative, so we hardly used our indoor facilities. We had use of a full commercial kitchen at the Rosthern Arena. This made cooking our big breakfast a snap! We decided on omelettes-in-a-bag instead of the usual pancake breakfast. They were pretty tasty!

I'll be posting more pictures soon.

At this rally, we held an open house. It was great fun to see how people have personalized their trailers. Even with all the commotion, it still didn't wake up our unit's youngest member!
