Coldwater Tri-Chapter Rally

Baseball, Bicycling, Berries, Boogie-Woogie

Come join the celebration of the 4B’s at the 2015 Tri Chapter Rally in Coldwater, Michigan.  There will be Baseball, Bicycling, Berries and Boogie-Woogie music.

The Tri-Chapter Rally (Chapter 6, 36 & 51) will be held in Coldwater, Michigan at the Branch County Fairgrounds from June 18-21.  The fairgrounds is conveniently located at 262 S. Sprague Street about ½ mile southwest of the I-69/U.S. 12 interchange on the east side of Coldwater.  Look for the “Fairgrounds” sign at the corner of U.S. 12 and Sprague Street as you head west on U.S. 12.  An enclosed building with attached pavilion has been reserved for our use and is adjacent to the camping area so walking will be at a minimum.

The camping fee for full hookups (30amp electric, water and sewer) is $20/night.

Rally fee is $8.00/person. There will be an opportunity to do a craft for a small fee.

Don’t forget to bring your favorite Baseball team’s shirt or cap.

Be prepared to Bike around Coldwater or just in the fairgrounds.

Sample all the strawberries at the Strawberry Festival on Saturday.

Enjoy Boogie-Woogie music on Saturday evening.

Escapade 2015

Doug and Anna Craw manned the Chapter #6 booth at this years Escapade in Tucson Arizona

Doug & I were privileged to represent the Chapter on Chapter "Row" at the 55th Escapade in Tucson, March 8th - 13th.  This Escapade was one of the largest in recent years with 851 rigs registered and a total of 1,952 attendees, including 720 walk-ins. 34 Chapters and 21 BOFs were represented on the "Row" which was open 3 hours/day, Sunday thru Wednesday.  Overall, $12,000 was raised for CARE at the Escapade through donut sales, the chili cook off and anonymous donations.

Ruth Creech, SKP #376 stopped by our Chapter #6 table to visit.  Ruth was an early and long time member of Chapter #6 and served as Vice-President from 1985-1989 and then Treasurer from 1989-1993.  Although she maintains a Michigan address, she spends most of her time in the southwest so has been unable to attend any Chapter #6 rallies for many years.   

The Chapter has 3 great rallies planned for this summer.  We hope to see many of you at a rally!

It's time to think about this coming summer's rallies
