Sharon and I enjoyed last year so much that we hope to come again this year. The only thing that may hinder us is getting ready for the Airstream lifestyle valley rally the third weekend of October.

[Gearheart]

Going to certainly try to get to this one.

[Airbiscuit]

Woohooo another Argosy!!

[Gearheart]

Time off is arranged. ETA sometime Tues afternoon. WOOT!

[Airbiscuit]

Hello all! Just wanted to update everyone that I will have more information for cookoff rules and campground info after the County Fair. Until then they are pretty busy and getting answers has been difficult.

[eubank]

Be sure to use Hatch chile in your chili.

So we have another update!! Now that their county fair is over, I am allowed to start contacting them regarding buildings and camping. Well, I should have more info from them tomorrow.
But in other news... if you show up to this rally, you may just be the first folks to meet Baby St. Peter! (So long as all goes as planned and the birthmom doesn't change her mind!!!!)

Groupon has some deals on activities... https://www.groupon.com/local/berea-oh/sightseeing

I misread DW's confidence as a fait accompli. Turned out that she can't get the time off. Then I found out that my dear brother who lives in Lakewood will be in Germany during that time. This year is a no go.

[Airbiscuit]

Boo! Hopefully next year!

Spoke with the fairgrounds today. We have building #27 for our use. We will be there Wed. to pick up keys and to greet folks as they come in. There are NO ground fires allowed due to city ordinances, however, if you have an outdoor fireplace, it can be used so long as its above ground. We will be bringing one. For the chili cookoff rules... there are no rules when it comes to recipes... There will be a designated time for turn in (which is still yet to be determined) at building #27. Everyone will be judging everyone else via blind sampling and submitting a ballot before its a free for all on who wants chili! (You will need to bring your own bowl for your full portion) Any questions? Feel free to ask!!

[Airbiscuit]

8-10am: Breakfast on the griddle! Pancakes will be provided by NOVA (Bring whatever you want cooked on the griddle if you don’t want pancakes!)
Anytime: We will not be doing an organized "trailer crawl" due to weather being questionable. So get out and meet your neighbors.

5:30pm: Hot dogs, baked beans, a side dish or two, and marshmallows await your arrival for supper and will be available near the fire or in the building (depends on weather & bugs!) Bring your own roasting fork if you want one over the fire, we will have the fire at the ready!

Saturday:
If you have an item to add to the raffle, you can bring it at any time to turn in prior to 1pm, since we will be setting up for the raffle PRIOR to chili turn in.

12pm: Bring your own bowl and accoutrements and join us for a chili lunch!
5:00pm: - Raffle!!! If you have any spare parts or anything to donate for the raffle it would be appreciated. (Instead of an outright rally fee, we ask that you buy a few tickets for the raffle. Keep in mind we need to cover big tent/building rental of $250 that is keeping us all dry and warm!) If you don't wish to purchase raffle tickets and just want to donate, $20 would certainly help towards covering our costs!

[Airbiscuit]

It’s “time” for a little crafting! We’ll have everything you need to make an Airstream clock that reflects the philosophy that NOBODY keeps track of time when camping! Choose your clock-face design, cut it out, and glue it on a 7” wooden circle. Finish with several layers of Mod Podge spray acrylic sealer, and install the clock works. That’s all the “time” it takes!
The craft area will be set up Friday but will continue to be available Saturday. Please let us know if you would be interested in making this craft!!

[johnsgirl]

we hope to be coming in after work wed., cant wait !!! John plans to make the clock, he is psyched!!
