We just attended the Ohio Spring Samboree, er, Rally.
The rally cost was $45 per rig and early days were only $10 each. You could arrive on Monday and stay the week for a total cost per rig of only $85. Entertainment every night, tours, golf outings, seminars, and games every day, a real bargain. Free bean soup on Thursday, free sausage gravy and biscuits for Friday breakfast, all you can eat free donuts on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Free coffee, hot tea, iced tea, hot chocolate, and lemonade available 24 hours a day.
The rally theme was the "sixties" and at Saturday evening entertainment about a third of the 600 attendees dressed as hippies from the sixties.
The Good Sam regional representatives gave seminars and were available all day to chat with anyone interested in talking about the national Good Sam organization.
There were three RV dealers and one truck dealer present with new rigs to look at. You could tour multiple RV brands and there were Dodge, Ford, and GMC trucks side by side for comparison. There were somewhere around 15 other vendors selling all kinds of personal and RV items and accessories.
At Ohio events we ask first timers to wear a red ribbon which clearly identifies them as attending their first Ohio rally. The regular attendees go out of their way to make all the first timers welcome. It is so much fun being a first timer that many comment they wish they could be a first timer every time.
The Good Sam Club is alive and well in Ohio.
There will also be a Summer and Fall Samboree, er, Rally in Ohio. Make plans to attend if in the area.
