Western Rally at Cowichan Exhibition Park Report

In Duncan  May 28 -30, 2016 

We had a great time at the Western Rally this past weekend.  Susan & John VanSchaik and Linda & Henry Schwagley went all out with good eats and entertainment.

We enjoyed a potluck with Roast Chicken provided the first evening. Pass the Ace followed.

Our first breakfast of Oatmeal, Sunny Boy and fruit compote with ice cream set us up for the day.  We needed that fuel in the afternoon, when we started throwing Cow Pies!  Beef Pot Roast with baked potatoes, veggies and fruit pies with ice cream were on the menu that evening and Horse Races later, where we could win some cash!  Winners of the Best Cowgirl and Cowboy outfits were Audrey Hauge and Barry Delege and they received $25 gift cards.  Well done!

Second breakfast was French toast with bacon and all the sides. A quick Executive Meeting was held in Matt Bloggs' new Dutchstar.  Nice rig Matt! Most of us joined the Crib Tournament that afternoon and evening. The tournament was won by new member Rick Woodrow and he received a $25 gift card. That evening we had Pork Loin with buns, veggies and Cole Slaw and dessert of Berry Brown Betty for dinner.  The Ken Williams Memorial Award for the free rally was won by Jim and Eileen Sharples. Glad to see some longstanding members finally get it!  Again, some lively Pass the Ace to finish the evening.

Sunday morning we enjoyed biscuits and gravy with sausages. Immediately after breakfast we proceeded with the annual General Meeting.  Highlights are that the Executive all stays the same for another year and we have started the plans for a BIG PARTY for the May rally next year to celebrate our 15th Anniversary!

In the afternoon very entertaining Swing Golf was played.  When the Swing Golf moved inside because of weather, it was so much easier to score! John VanSchaik was the winner and received a $25 gift card. Dinner was Hamburgers with veggies followed by cake and ice cream and then an evening on our own.

Monday morning everyone enjoyed the Continental breakfast and we were all packed up and gone in good time!

Many thanks to the VanSchaiks and Schwagleys!
