Today was very different than what we normally expect during our Monaco America rallies. Due to scheduling problems we were not able to have the use of the ball room over at the Ca
sino Resort so we did not have indoor activities. Instead of the normal catered breakfast we each were given tickets to use at the casino buffet breakfast. Instead of RV related seminars or craft classes we went on a Poker Run. Several places, both attended
and unattended, were set up for us to stop and see some of the sights here in Central Louisiana. At the five attended stops we got our card stamped to show we made those stops. The first stop was St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Cemetery. The purpose here was to give everyone a look at the above ground burial they use in this area. The first attended spot was at the 4-H Club museum. Other stops included an antique store, a catfish restaurant and a goat farm. After we returned and turned in our stamped cards each person was allowed to draw five cards from a deck of playing cards. The best poker hand won. Joanne drew three Kings and was the winner.

Since we did not have access to the ballroom we had our party on the "Veranda", which is an open air area adjacent to the RV Park office, next to the swimming pool. It was a combination of the celebration of the clubs 10th annivers
ary and Halloween. Before the party everyone was on there own for dinner and we went to Roxy's, the 50's style diner in the casino. During the party we had cake and ice cream for the anniversary festivities. Several of our members had decorated their coaches for Halloween and a bunch of them came to the party in costume. A judging contest was held for the best decorated coach and best costume. Judy and Forrest Wagner (in picture to the left) won for best coach but not costume. (They came as Frankenstein and his bride.) This was a very fun evening but very different from the normal dinner and entertainment we usually experience each night of a rally.
