Prizes will be awarded for the best chili. Yer Wagonmasters (event captains) and The Posse (Divas) will be judgin’ the entries.
• After vittles—Come on down to the old Saloon (the clubhouse) for yer favorite games: poker, dominoes, etc. But watch out fer the sheriff and posse. They may put you in “jail” for lookin’ at ‘em wrong, and the only way to “Git out of Jail” is fer one of yer RVin’ pardners to donate vittles (non-perishable food item for the food bank or maybe they’ll take bribe money). This is our service project for the weekend, so ya best come prepared. |
