RE: [VAL] Rally Open House for Vintage Trailers

["Tom \(et/al\)" <thomm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are right, July 4th is Sunday, which also happens to be the last day of
the rally.  Everyone is scheduled to be out by July 5th.  Still a big
problem considering when the vintage group came in last Saturday -- and the
wet ground and mud didn't help speed up anything either.  I understand lots
of people had to be taken in and moved around by tractors -- both trailers
and tow vehicles.  

I haven't been to a vintage open house -- but if it lasts all day it would
be a disaster to have it on the last day of the rally, or even the day
before the last day of the rally when lots of business has to get done by
the attendees.

People who want to get into Airstreaming and visiting those with Airstreams
are free to call the WBCCI headquarters anytime to find out Region schedules
for unit rallies, etc.  That would be a good start and a work around for
this year especially -- they could visit many unit and regional rallies
during the year instead of being limited to just one day like at the
international rally.

Not making excuses here at all, but I'd bet that the main issue of when
things are scheduled has a lot to do when July 4th falls, on which day of
the week.  

People who really want to see vintage Airstreams or even new Airstreams
won't wait until there is a vintage open house near them in the USA to do
so.  Those people will make plans that work for them as they do their
homework and research to see if an Airstream is in their future.  Lots of
others have done that before us.
