Settled in at the Fairgrounds in Albany Oregon for the Northwest Area FMCA rally. We got lucky and were parked right next to the Snake River Chapter - we have good friends Alma & Frank that belong to that chapter and over the years we have made other friends within that chapter. We have "crashed" their gatherings several times and always volunteer to help with what ever they are in charge of for rallies in this area.
Heading for Calapooia Brewing - one of our favorite places in Albany!
Wonderful Imperial Stout on Nitro!!!! Yummy.....
Here we are hard at work??? We are Greeters for the first time - does it look like we might be a bit confused?? This was a joke pic taken by the Snake River Chapter's incoming President's Wife - I am sure we will end up in their newsletter as the "newbies". We had a good time, but being on the last shift we saw only 4 coaches in two hours - one of them took a shortcut and we didn't even get to wave to them!
First chance we get it is back to Calapooia! This time with friends Alma and Frank Marvin. Another wonderful dining experience with fantastic Beer!!!
Beautiful sunset to wind up our rally. We had a great time. We were fed 3 times, attended some great seminars and had a chance to re-connect with many friends we hadn't seen in a while. This is one of our favorite FMCA rallies and I am sure we will be back for more. Next Summer there will not be a Northwest Area rally because the National FMCA will be in this area at Redmond. We will again be volunteering with the Snake River Chapter - as Tram people this time. They really want us to join their club, but we in good faith cannot do that because we would not be able to really support the club in a way that would be helpful to them, so we will continue to crash their party until they tell us no - don't think that will happen, at least we hope not!
