Hey ya'll!  I'm getting ready to create a new post but wanted to let you know --

We'll be hosting a rally at Weston Bend again in 2020, May 7-10.

The reservation window is OPEN!  Watch for the new post, or you can look through this thread for the reservation link as it is the same.

I apologize for not posting this earlier.

Thumbs UpRE FRIDAY EVENING --

Chuck and I are getting things organized for the DOOR PRIZES, and there is something(s) for everyone! We have some very nice things donated by Forest River/RPod and some very nice items donated by Olathe Ford RV in Gardner, KS, and a slew of other items camping-related. You will NOT want to miss and you MUST be present to participate. Our plan is to do this after dinner on Friday, but realizing that some of you might possibly be opting to eat in Weston instead of do the podluck, we decided to set the start time between 7 & 7:30pm.

We will do the HOMETOWN GIFT EXCHANGE immediately following the final Door Prizes. As I'd said, those not participating are welcome to observe -- I have NO IDEA how many people will be doing this!

One week from today a handful of us will be gathering at Weston Bend... awaiting the beginning of the Rally on Thursday!  We have a total of 23 RPods coming; 45 adults, 2 kiddos, and about 10 dogs.  We're looking forward to it -- even though weather forecasts are not consistent so we have no way of knowing what to expect.  

If you have any questions at this point, don't hesitate to ask. 
See you next week!

 POSTING AGAIN TO UPDATE -- 
At least four Podders have made their reservations for the 2pm tour on Friday -- consider joining them!! Approve Take the reservation link below.  If you make reservations for a tour at another time and you would like to invite other Podders to join you, please post that here.  Thanks!

Holladay Distillery Tour Info --
The distillery is very close to the campground. Tours are $10 per person. They last about an hour and include tasting and 10% discount at their store following the tour. For any of you interested, here's what you need to know:

First, they have an online reservation system and tours are for a max of 12 people. Each day has several time options. If YOU are interested, let me suggest that you make your reservation and post it here, and perhaps others will decide to join you on your tour and make their reservations. Also, if I know when folks have scheduled tours, I can work Rally events around that. And although I did notice that one of the Friday tour times already has 4 spots booked, I don't know that there is a huge rush to make a reservation right away unless you want to be sure to get your choice of time and try to maybe fill a tour with Podders. They do suggest advance reservations, and a full refund is available with at least 24 hours notice. :-)

A second option is that they can arrange tours for larger groups. If, say 40 people wanted to go, they would be split into two actual groups and head out on the tour about 15 minutes apart. This would need to be arranged at least a couple weeks prior to the date, and would depend on their availability. It is still $10 per person. My personal thought is -- perhaps the tours are better with smaller groups, and it would be challenging to find a time that works for everyone interested, so I will NOT be planning a group tour.

This information has also been posted to the RPod Owners Facebook group.  If someone there posts that they have made a reservation, I will post it here.

Here's the link for tour info and booking.  https://holladaydistillery.com/distillery-tour/

Posting again -- let me know if you are interested in a tour of the sheep farm, and I will get you in touch with Linda who is organizing a tour.

Green Dirt Sheep Farm and Creamery --

We already posted a link to the Green Dirt Farm (posted again below), their store and our comments about how absolutely yummy is their cheese, but... for any interested in touring the actual sheep dairy farm itself, reservations need to be made in advance and there is a minimum of four people for a tour. The tour is about an hour long and then there is cheese tasting. Cost is $15; if you want wine with your tasting, the cost is $25.  

One of our Pod couples, Linda and Lloyd, would like to go and will be happy to make arrangements if any of you are interested in a tour.  If you are, let me know and I will put you in contact with Linda.
