Vol. 4 # 4 - Tiffin Motorhomes

A L L E G R O C L U B N E W Sby Gail JohnsonAugust 20 through 25 went down in the record books in andaround Warrens, Wisconsin, as one of the wettest weeks in recenthistory. That did not, however, dampen the enthusiasm of the250 rally attendees who gathered at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone ParkCamp Resort near Warrens. The facility itself was extraordinary,with not only very nice camp sites and amenities, but a hugenew lodge on site which housed conference rooms, a restaurant,a hotel, an arcade, and a large indoor water park.Each evening campers enjoyed a themed meal served in thelodge ballroom, with many attendees dressed appropriately forthe evening’s theme. Themes included Mardi Gras Night, WesternNight, Picnic Barbeque, and Field and Stream.Registration took place on Monday, and, as is the usual custom,Tuesday was devoted to seminars and other activities onsite. One of the highlights of Tuesday’s events was a ladies’ tea,which was attended by about 70. Favorite tea cups were broughtand stories shared about them, and our knowledge of the customssurrounding tea was tested in a “tea trivia” quiz. Prizeswere awarded, and everyone seemed to have a “jolly good time!”Wednesday the sun actually peeked through the clouds,which made our bus tour very enjoyable. Our destinations thatday included: Fort McCoy, a nearby military base; a cranberryfarm, where we actually were guided out into a cranberry marshto see the unripe berries growing; and the Cranberry DiscoveryCenter, a museum/restaurant/gift shop in Warrens where wewere served (what else?) cranberry coffee and cranberry pie! Ihad always thought “cheese” when considering Wisconsin’smain products, but we learned that cranberries also rank rightup there at the top of Wisconsin’s agricultural economy.Thursday, we again boarded buses and rode to nearby EauClair for Fanny Hill’s Dinner Theatre. There we were treated tolunch at a lovely Victorian Bed and Breakfast on a bluff overlookingthe Chippewa River. We had time to roam the gardensand visit on the deck outside, or just watch the birds and butterfliesbusy in the gardens from our seats in the dining room.After lunch, we were treated to a comedy performed by localactors—delightful!In addition to the many activities already mentioned, therewere horse shoe tournaments, a back-your-wagon race, and avery interesting arts and crafts display done by and for the participantsat the rally.Special thanks should be given to the local Tiffin dealer,King’s Campers, for the wonderful support they gave throughoutthe rally. They provided two technicians who, along withthe two Tiffin techs who came from Red Bay, did an excellentjob of servicing the units needing minor repairs.For those of you who have not yet experienced an AllegroClub rally, please consider doing so. We have a wonderful timeof fun, fellowship, good food, and seeing interesting places inthis grand country in which we live!
