Memorable quotes from the 2008 Show:

Mary and Bill

We just want to THANK YOU for a GREAT Rally!! You and your club did a fantastic job!!! Our club is about the size of yours and I am not sure we could have accomplished what you did. THANK YOU!!! We are looking forward to next years gathering and will definitely try and get more of your club members up there.

Candy and Vern:

What a fun time we had all weekend. You guys are the best planners. I know it was a lot of work. But everything went off really nicely. We had a great time. I am so excited to take my canopy to the lake tomorrow. I am going to put it on the deck. I have just the place for it. It will have lots of happy hours and fish fry picnics under it. That is super. Just wanted to thank you for all your preparation. You did a great job. Everyone that I talked to had a super time. There was something for everyone. The dinners were great. That fairground area is great. Nice town. Nice people. Thanks again for everything. We loved it.
