Thursday- potluck & happy hour

Friday- "Just Camping" and bring your lights for our Grand Illumination Contest.

Saturday- "Vintage Appreciation", with tours of vintage Airstreams, games
and "Tin Can Chef" competion and dinner dance.

Each day will have activities for all ages, catered meals and professional entertainment.

Travel out to the New Hampshire Lakes Region and enjoy the many scenic roads in NH and beautiful lakes. Near by is Kittery and Kennebunkport, Maine.

For those of you traveling a far, we will have additional early parking starting Saturday (August 12th) in an area for early birds at the fairgrounds. More information to follow!

Please do mark this one on your calendar, where ever you are you don't want to miss this one! I have seen the plans for this rally unfolding and I have never been so excited about a rally. International flare, olde time style, cool lights, friendly atmosphere, and Tons-O-Fun to boot! I think this one just may go down in WBCCI history!!! Be sure to check in and subscribe to this topic to keep updated.

I've mailed in our registration (and check) for the 2006 Region One Rally!
We will be there for the entire week, taking advantage of early parking to do some sightseeing in the beautiful New Hampshire Seacoast and Lakes areas.

I'm also expanding on my lighting theme for next year (we were at the Scout Out Rally where we did a mini version of the Grand Illumination contest). I had thought I went all out in regards to decorations but now know that I have some very stiff competitors! I've got a whole year to work on my plans so look out folks!

Now, I have to ask: will there be more than 3 amp electric to power the "Grand Illuminations"? Some people may take this literally and design a lighting effect which requires a nuclear power plant ...

At the Quebec rally it was suggested to me that if I wanted to run 10 small "Airstream" Christmas lights (consuming perhaps 10 watts) I should be in the generator section.

Most sites at the Rochester Fairgrounds have 20 amp service so we should be able to light up the night sky without fear of blowing fuses.

well....we should double-check that w/ the hosts. We're going to be putting a lot more trailers in the same space we were in. I would imagine that some "sharing" will be required. and while the outlets I saw were all 20-amp, I couldn't see inside the supply box (locked), and have no idea if the 4 individual outlets on the pole were on dedicated circuits, or were sharing a circuit.

Titu & Gail · 08-30-2005, 12:06 PM

Folks........place all and any concerns, I will address these with the hosts and nothing will be left to the imagination by time the rally starts.

This rally will be thoroughly planned. Anything you would like to suggest.....go for it! PM me if you like.
