CHRISTMAS RALLY DECEMBER
2017 by Jim Buelow
Campground Reservations: Make your own reservations directly with the campground at 1-804-798-5298. Tell them you are with the Dogwood Chapter to get the special rally rate of $40.00 per night for 50 amp full hookups. These rates also apply if you come early or leave late. A block of 30 sites has been reserved for Dogwood. Cutoff date for making your reservations is November 13, 2017.
Directions: Take exit 89 (route 802 – Lewistown Road) off I-95. From the south, turn right at the end of the ramp and then immediately right again onto route 809 – use care, this is a tight turn. From the north, turn left at the end of the ramp, cross over the interstate, and turn right onto route 809. Follow 809 a little less than a mile to the campground on the left.
Note: We are tentatively planning on doing a food drive or similar type of donation for the needy at the rally. More info on this later.
Rally Fees: Rally fees for the weekend will be $20.00 per adult, and $10.00 per child. For those attending only the Friday or Saturday night functions, the cost will be $10.00 per person per meal. Cutoff for registration is November 13, 2017.
As usual, please bring your own drinks and utensils to all meals.
Thursday: Although the rally doesn’t officially begin until Friday, many will arrive on Thursday. We will have a Social Hour from 5-6 pm. Please bring a snack to share. The campground will also provide a free meal for those who are interested. The campground also provides a free waffle breakfast with juice and coffee on Thursday and Friday mornings.
Note: Something different this year. On Friday and Saturday, we are asking attendees to bring a snack to share. However, we will ask only half of the attendees to do Friday and half to do Saturday. A little less cost to attendees and we always have plenty of snacks.

Friday: 6:00 pm - A full meal including desert will be provided; specific details on menu will be forthcoming. After dinner we will have some fun games and also a little test of your knowledge. Prizes will be awarded. Be sure to sharpen your memory and brain skills before you arrive (LOL).
