Saturday, 10/9/99:

Ok...last night was great.  After the days festivities, there was an unofficial dinner at Cosmos Italian resturaunt.  About 50 RV builders, flyers, and wishers showed up, as well as Scott McDaniels, and Bill Benedict.

Ahh...ONE of the many rows of RV's...today the count was ~34~ at around 12:00.  I am assuming that is the most accurate, as that is the peak during the weekend.

Hey, a celebrity was spotted!  If you don't know this guy, you aint building an RV.. Ok, well the photo isn't that great...its Mr. RV video personality, George Orndorff.  If you still don't know him, get to know him, and his website, http://www.fly-gbi.com  George and Becki provide a great service to the RV communitity, with everything from builders videos, tools, supplies, and custom interior.

I had to borrow this for a minute to shoot down some fiberglass airplanes...this B17 has over 2 Million rivets in it...I think an RV has a few thousand if I remember correctly...
