We are now in Kentucky.

Here we are at the KY Spring Samboree. We had a great time at the Indiana Spring Samboree in Lebanon last week. Many people do not realize the family relationship you build with all the Good Sam Club friends. We enjoyed the popcorn ever ynight after entertainment. The lemonade was wonderful. It was a little warm a couple of days. Not enough power for air conditioning in the rig.

We had a wonderful time and now are getting ready for more here in Brandenburg.

West Virginia Spring Samboree

We attended the West Virginia Spring Samboree in New Martinsville with our friends the Newberts. We had a wonderful time with a week filled with games, food, fun and great fellowship. As always, Samborees are loads of fun if you get in the middle of everything happening.

Thanks to Don and Kathy Wise and the West Virginia Good Sam Staff and Chapters for an enjoyable week. We made more life time friends.

We are now in St. Marys, Ohio for a day of down time. We will be heading for the Indiana Spring Samboree in Lebanon tomorrow. We will meet up with the Cowells and are looking forward to another great Samboree.

Its Samboree Time!

We had a fantastic time at the 2009 Tennessee "Country Music" Spring Samboree. Yes! it did rain. But, as true Good Sam Club members, we did not let that interfere with the fun, food and fellowship.

The games were great. The seminars were well attended with people asking for some of them to come back. Our vendors were happy with the attendance and seemed to to do well.

We raised $850 through the 50/50 raffle for the Ronald McDonald Houses of Tennessee. Of course, the winners took home the same amount. These funds go to the five houses in Tennessee to help our children and their families cope with an illness.

Our entertainment was the best. We must say a BIG thank you to the Chapters for the skits on Thursday evening. The Jeff Treece Band kept us laughing on Thursday evening. Then on Saturday evening the Jeffers took us on a memory tour through some of the Grand Old Opery days.

Our Sunday morning worship time was inspiring and uplifting. Bill Stewart's message reminded us of the role our mothers played in our lives. As always, Janie Powers touched our spirits with her violin music. Then our memorial service is always a wonderful time of remembering our lost friends/family.

2009 Tennessee "Country Western" Spring Samboree

We are at the James E. Ward Agricultural Center in Lebanon Tennessee for the 2009 Tennessee "Country Western" Spring Samboree. We arrived Saturday evening (May 2nd) about 7:15 PM. It has rained almost continuously since then. However, Good Sam members do not let a little rain dampen our spirits or enjoyment of being together. The Staff is here and we had a great meal tonight at Demo's and played cards afterwards.

We plan to leave here on Sunday May 10th and go to the West Virginia, Indiana and Kentucky spring Samborees. We are looking forward to seeing many of our Good Sam Club friends and family.

We will post an update next week.
