Arrived at FMCA Rally Perry GA. Mar. l4, 2011

We arrived in Perry,GA. on Thursday, March 10.  We are staying at the Fair Harbour Campground.  This is a great CG and I suggest it as a good option when in the area.    When we arrived here there was a group of Newmar Motor homes here.  Bill gave them the Golden Ticket for the 6 day 5 night stay at Retama.  We went to Lanes Peach and Pecan Plantation.  It was a neat place.  We had lunch and then topped it off with Butter Pecan Ice Cream.  They sold almost anything you could think of made out of peaches and pecans.  They also sold other jams and jellies and salsas.  We ran into two of the vendors that we met when we first started representing Retama at the rallies.  They sell flags and flag poles.  Christine and Michelle are a lot of fun to be around.  Bill did some maintenance on the trailer today.  We set up for the rally which starts tomorrow.  We heard there were 2,600 motor homes registered.  There are a few motor homes staying in the RV park where we are.  It is nice having full hook up.  We belong to a group called PRVVC (Professional RV Vendors Chapter of FMCA), and they had a dinner for all the members tonight.  This is a great net working opportunity for us, and we are enjoying the company of a bunch of hard working entrepreneurial couples. Tonight the motor homes were open for viewing from 5:00-8:00.  The hours for the rally are 8:30-5:00 starting Tuesday until Thursday.  We had a nice surprise on last Thursday night.  Our daughter Linda and her family stopped by for the night on there way to Florida.  Her husband Jeff, slept in the truck and Linda, Kira and Hunter slept in the 5th wheel.  We had a great visit.  We went to Sonny's Barbecue for supper and then went back to the park.  It was nice having the evening with Linda and listen to how excited she is about her new job.  They left in the morning about 7:30.  Bill and I went back to bed and enjoyed a cup of coffee.  Will write more after the rally.   Have a great day everyone.
