Georgia Ag Center - Good Sam Rally

The Georgia Agriculture Center in Perry GA was the setting for the national Good Sam Rally. Over 4000 RVs converged for 5 days of seminars, 400 vendors, and to view every kind of RV made. Having served on the CHAP Board for many years and having the annual convention at the PA Farm Show Complex we had a feeling for the challenges these organizers faced. All of our CHAP friends will recognize the blue and white draping and stanchion chain at the registration area. The complex covered almost 200 acres and the buildings were spread out so we did get our exercise. One nice thing was this facility was much more conducive to having seminars than the Farm Show Complex is. These two photos are of one of the seminar rooms showing the sound absorption panels which are on the concrete walls and hanging in rows way up in the rafters - A great help to the sound. We wished the Farm Show Complex would be so progressive! Doug had to test the NASCAR simulator car. NASCAR is VERY BIG in the south! And we found many motorhomes that our son, Josh, would love to drive - Very big trucks! This one was quite opulent with a marble bath tub and heated marble floors.
