Kerrville--2011--Day 9

And it's over. We wrapped up the Monaco America 2011 Spring Rally.

Today was the final day for the rally. We led off with our general business meeting and election of officer's. All the current officer's were re-elected except for the office of 1st Vice President, which was an open office this time. In the picture are (l to r) 2nd VP Neil Morris, 1st VP Sid Lenoir, President Gary Granat, Secretary Peggy Morris, 3rd VP Carrol Henestofel, Treasurer Rick Stone and Alternate FMCA Director Ernie Robertson. Only one missing was the FMCA Director. This meeting took most of the morning and the early afternoon was taken up with a couple of seminars. Later in the afternoon was the "Dog Showoff". That's is where all us dog owners take our dogs over to show them off and parade them around. Back when we had Brandi Jane we did not attend this because she was so anti-social around other people. After her passing we started taking Buddy Joe and he seemed to enjoy himself. This time we took both Buddy and Bridgit Jeane, not really knowing how she would act, considering her desire to bark at everyone and everything. She did very good and did not bark but a couple of times. Of course I held her the whole time we were there and did not let her run around on the ground.

This evening was a German theme. The caterer served traditional German food and the entertainment was The Sauerkraut's, one of the most entertaining Oom-Pah bands we've ever heard. The band consist of five members and they play multiple insturments along with doing plenty of comedy. The band was enjoyed by our whole crowd and, I don' think, anyone left early. Also, as our special guest, we had Jerry and Marilyn Jenkins. Jerry is the President of Monaco International, our sister international Monaco owners club.
