Galax Rally

by Barbara Dyke

The Galax Rally will be held at the Cool Breeze Campground July 13 thru July 19, 2015.  I am happy that Karen and Berkley Alexander will be co-hosting with Bobby and me. We have reserved the clubhouse for the entire week as there is so much to do in the area and it will be available for members who want to stay at the campground.  With Connie Tilman's help I am listing suggestions for activities you may want to see.

July 14, Tuesday:  Visit Mabry Mill and lunch in the area. Old time bluegrass jam at Stringbean Coffee Shop in Galax.
July 15, Wednesday:  Blue Ridge Parkway Music Center, music played on front porch. This is free.
July 16, Thursday:  Visit Mt. Airy Museum and lunch  Snappy Lunch for famous porkchop sandwich. Visit Mayberry jail and take a ride in Mayberry squad car. Visit Andy Griffith Museum.
July 17, Friday:  Walk around Galax, listen to music, shop gifts and antiques, watch set-up for BBQ festival. 8 pm Go to Rex Theater for live radio show.
