30 May 2023 - Repair Work Commences and Registration Opens

 

This morning bright and early a swarm of golf carts hit the streets here carrying Alliance technicians and their tools and repair materials all over the campground.  When everyone registered for the rally they could identify up to three things that they wanted to have Alliance repair here.  I had a slight alignment problem with one side of an awning.  I also had a couple decals that were coming loose.  My last item was the rubber "bulb" seals around my two rear slide-outs were splitting.  

The technicians arrived shortly after 0700 hrs and started on the awning.  My son-in-law Keith is parked behind us and had an issue with his front cap decal.  The team of gals that apply the decals to new Alliance coaches on the assembly line worked on Keith's front cap while my awning was being removed. 

Then they shifted over to mine to repair a decal before my new awning arm was re-installed.

At 1200 hrs registration opened and everyone that is here attending the rally came through the lib=ne and picked up their welcome bags.  Then we served them a pulled pork sandwich, chips and a drink of their choice.

Long lines but they processed quickly.

The Texas Ally's created a "Redneck margarita Machine and it works awesome!  The heart and sole of it is a garbage disposer which grinds the ice.  

So, long day but very successful.  Tomorrow the rally kicks off starting with a full breakfast, opening remarks from Alliance and then seminars and various events all day long.
