day to relax while waiting for the rally to officially start. We did spend some time in our daily walks, observing the area. I love the cactus that grow in this part of Arizona. Not sure of the name of this type but they only grow around here. These two are by the entrance to the RV park. To be this big they are several hundred years old. In the afternoon the coach area opened and we had a welcome with snacks an
d drinks. They have brought in about 20 brand new 2011 Monaco coaches to display and offer for sale. In late 2008 the original Monaco Coach Corporation went into bankruptcy and ceased building coaches. All the assets of the company were bought up by Navistar (International Trucks) and they have reopened as Mona
co RV LLC. They are now building new coaches again although on a much smaller scale than the old company. While here we have met up with some members of our other club, Monaco America, and have had a good visit. In the picture to the left Joanne is visiting with Don Meredith and Jack & Penny Keyian. After the welcome reception several of us went to the Nimbus Brewing Company for dinner and fellowship.

aterer. Several seminars were presented. Jo attended the one given by the Mary Kay Cosmetics representative. I spent time checking out the vendor area. These are the folks that sell all the extra stuff to personalize our coaches. With our last coach we had custom vinyl wheel covers put on 
to protect the tires from UV rays from the sun while parked. Since they are made to fit the individual coach they went with it when we traded it off in 2006. Jo decided we need a new set for this coach so I spent the morning getting them bought. They'll have to be custom made and will be shipped to us while we are in Laughlin, Nevada, next month. Tonight we had a good dinner, again provided by the caterer, and then set back for the entertainment. The entertainment scheduled for tonight was Mae West, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. The same lady impersonated Mae and Marilyn. They did a pretty good show.

Impersonation acts are huge over here. We still remember seeing 'Cher' one year in Gran Canaria. They can be really entertaining, but it's a bit strange all the same. Are they good because they can sing or are they good because they can sing and make themselves look like the person they are imitating? Both, I suppose.
Looks like you are all having a great time! Wish we were there with you......
