Everything You Never Wanted....

Woke up to a pleasant surprise...Sun. Just like any convention we went to register and then met up with Marcie & Glenn.

At this time of year Quartzsite is one gigantic mass of "snowbirds" that spend the winter. Many of them come here every year especially for the vendor shows. We had to go find out what it was all about. We all headed down to the RV Show tent. This is a huge tent (like a double circus tent) with wall to wall vendors inside and outside around the perimeter. There is no way to describe the mass of tents, products, and people! We spent most of the time in the RV tent, had ice cream and of course sausage and onion sandwiches (it is a fair!). Roaming through the vendors Ken found a booth promoting a massage machine and ended up sitting in the chair eating Cheetos while the sales person massaged his back and knees. Never thought he would get up....

We spent the afternoon in the Sella Rama section which is a gigantic flea market where they have everything you ever - or never - wanted!

Back at camp about 4ish. We read our rally materials and had dinner. Then it was time for BINGO.. We had a blast but didn't win anything. I was one number away from the $500 prize, but someone got there first. After bingo we said good night to our new friends and called it a night.

It was a great day. Tomorrow the seminars take place and then the Hot Dog Bash for dinner. We are really going to enjoy the rally.
