Hi Gary. I’ll look for you. What’s your site location?

Ray - see post #8 for site location details. Marcy (red txt) sells the tickets. Look out, she is really good and you will buy more (maybe many more lol !) than you think you will.

Enjoy the rally......great time and wonderful people. We were there in 2019.

Dan

Today is the last of the rally with a closing ceremony tonight. So far have not met up (knowingly) with any of you, it's been a busy week for sure. Hope everyone enjoyed it. I'm ready to sleep for a week!! Early days are not my forte'

This rally has been outstanding. The Grand Design Owners are the nicest Rv folks I’ve met in 17 years of rving. I was impressed with how many volunteers were working & we wii definitely volunteer the next time we attend! When I saw the dinner line Tuesday snaking around the fairgrounds I thought it would take an hour to go through the line. But when dinner opened we were eating in less than 20 minutes. The Gubers were a godsend for me as I need a knee replacement (it’s scheduled soon). Arriving & parking went very smoothly. The honey wagon was very efficient. Grand Design employees fixed all my little issues. Lippert provided service for my issue even though I had not contacted them till the rally started. The seminars were outstanding & I learned a lot. Vendors were great. I purchased a lot of stuff there! I took advantage of getting my rig weighed by rvsafety.com.

But above all else, you volunteers were the key to the success of the rally! Thanks for all the long hours you worked allowing all of us to have such a great time! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

SO happy you enjoyed the rally and thank you for the thank you. I just got in from Gubering for the b4 and after dinner time. Many of the volunteers have been here for almost 2 weeks, we have been here for a week b4 the start of the rally helping with prep. Now that is over I'll sleep for a week. We had a fun time it's always great meeting other owners

We made it home Saturday night and I haven’t been looking at the forums all week. We were only a couple of doors down from you in site 455 and those tickets you sold me were defective. (Didn’t win). We had a great time and volunteering to help serve a couple of meals and Gubering made it even better. Very well done event!

Awesome you had a a great time, but too bad we didn't get a chance to chat a bit. A busy time for sure. I think they sold the rally folks defective tickets, mine didn't win either..And to make it worse they were uncooperative while trying to seperate the 2 halves. Next rally I send the link to better tickets to Bob the wagonmaster.

Thank you so much for volunteering, Gubering is fun. I gubered for the before and after dinner on closing night. (ran out of tickets so had free time) Fun and great way to meet people.

. Without all the volunteers things just don't go as smoothly and the success of the rally depends on it. GD helps but the brunt of it falls on the owners to make it happen
