Another early day as four of us headed to Sam's Club in a neighboring town to purchase food and supplies for the Rally Reception tomorrow.  About noon the Rally attendees will proceed to the reception area and receive their welcome bags that were assembled a few days ago.  They will also be served a lunch and beverage.  They can also play some games and win additional tickets for the raffle items.  The Alliance RV Owner's Group sponsor's this and it is so great to see everyone as they pass through the reception area.

A few of us headed out for lunch and saw many Amish with their horses and buggies.  A common sight here.  



This afternoon the work continued on setting up the reception area,  While we worked on that many of the vendors were setting up their displays in their building.  We will see a wide variety of RV-related products and services offered.  Manufacturers of equipment used on the Alliance RV's will be here to hold classes and answer questions.  The goal is to better inform the owners so they can avoid problems or repair them if they occur.

This evening our group held a "throw-on" which consists of an informal "potluck" and the host provides the grill where you can bring the protein of your choice and "throw it on".  The food was delicious and so was the conversation! 

Liberty spent quite a bit of time by herself in the RV today so this evening before we turned in we took her on a walk around the Northwest area where we are camping.   Alliance coaches as far as the eye can see.  There are likely over 300 coaches here by now and there will be somewhere between 350 and 400 for the Rally.  It will be a great time.
