Wendy,
I stopped by your rig early this morning (Wednesday) buy you folks were not up yet. Happy hour seems to start a little bit before 4 pm.

We had a hearty group for Happy HOur tonight. Group faded away when temps dropped. We are off to BINGO tonight and will be in line at 6pm. Wanting to win "The Big One" to help pay for coaches we saw today for sale!
Parade tomorrow so Happy Hour will be adjusted accordingly.

Sadly no one in our group won squat at Bingo tonight. We did have a few laughs. The WINNING pots were between $250 TO $500 FOR THE BLACK OUT. Not exactly enough for a new coach but it woulda been nice. We are still glad we were able to spend time with great friends! And many got new daubers!
Did Mac the Fire Guy's Escaping Your RV in an Emergency this morning. I was one of the lucky (?) ones who got to escape. It's kind of scary dropping blind to the ground. Anyone want to practice in Quartzsite? Also went to the FMCA Benefits seminar ... lots more than I thought ! Wandered the vendors and motorhome displays. Busy day, bought nothing. Did win a package of Minute Rice. Great parade at 4 pm. Don't you all wish you were here ?

I had no idea who New Odyssey were :-[ so I googled them and watched some YouTube video, or as much as I could stand.
Did they play numerous instruments during the performance?

They played 30 instruments. The billing was 3 guys and thirty instruments.

Yep, they played all 30 instruments during the performance. They even played each others instruments! The music was my era and I knew words to most songs. The Beatles were a special selection of interest to me. The coat drums was entertaining. I danced my heart out at last song despite my hubby being in the back row with another woman! I bought the 5 CD's and DVD combination offer. What a wonderful evening of entertainment , and so age appropriate for FMCA gathering!Tom said:

New Odyssey played here at Voyager RV Resort tonight. We enjoyed their music and their talent playing 30 different musical instruments. Three very talented men. They also played at Voyager five years ago.

I'm in awe when someone can switch between multiple instruments like that. Reminds me of a Dolly Parton concert we attended; That lady played and switched between a number of instruments.

Tom,
I used to love watching Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters. Barbara played four instruments and Louise played eight. Irlene only played one.

The final day of the Western Area FMCA rally was blessed with beautiful weather and a flurry of last minute spending. Our group of RVFormites did their part to help the economy. Purchases were wide spread and varied. I now have an egg boiler suitable for the microwave, I have additional microfiber cloths for cleaning everything! Useful here in the desert!
I know of Silverleaf purchases, Direct TV dish( including installation) , Sealand Technology gauges,generator oil changes, new refrigerator latches, custom sandals, lip color, silicone measuring cups, new gloves and " almost" motorhome purchases. More I'm sure but the "judges" have determined that The Big Larry was the winner of dollar amount in purchases! I'll let him tell his news!
We are off to final entertainment tonight and it should be another blast! I'll be in the back row so I can dance with my husband tonight.

Tom, they had one ten-minute segment in which they played all 30 instruments. And as Betty said, they were "helping" each other play their instruments such as one person strumming the strings on the round part of a guitar and the other fingering the strings on the neck. (Sorry I don't know the proper words to describe it but hope it gets the point across.) They were quite amazing.
