A light rain started around 2:00 but folks are still wandering around the campground to check out trailers as well as attend the workshops.
Around 5:00 the rain went from light to medium. I think we will take the truck to get to the pot luck. It isn't all that long a walk, but in the rain everything will get wet. While that is somewhat OK for me, I can't have that happen to the pie!
It did start to rain a bit heavier so we took the truck. The "family style" dinner was quite different from a pot luck. First difference - no drinks brought in from the outside, including sealed water bottles. They did have free water along with a cash bar. Next - our table was Up Shits Creek, not Schitt's Creek or Sheets Creek. Sign to prove it. Next - we were the only ones at our table so the meal started out to be tortellini salad & blueberry pie. OK for veterinarians, but we would have liked more variety. We found another pair of folks that were at a table with just two of them & invited them to join us which added a dessert for them & sausage & baked beans for us.

While the rain let up as we left the hall, it was windy. When we got back to the trailers we discovered how windy - the staked down Clam was half folded sitting behind my trailer. Not sure how it made it there, but we did find all the nails holding it down & replaced them with much larger ones.
So ends the day!
Until Next Time
