2009 Retiree Rally

Casa Grande, Arizona - February 23 - 28, 2009

By: Guy Dean, Publicity Chairman

The 2009 FCRV Retiree Rally will be held in Casa Grande, Arizona. Situated in the desert between Phoenix and Tucson, Casa Grande , in February, will be a perfect spot for a Spring Rally.

Melvin and Nancy Coy, the 2009 Retiree Rally coordinators, are already hard at work organizing, supervising, deputizing, and terrorizing the various Event Chairpersons. Great things are on the move!

The Pinal County Fair Grounds is the site for our 2009 Retiree Rally. The grounds provides the capability of handling several hundred RV's as well as the buildings in which to hold the seminars and group functions usually held at our rallies. The 120 acre faculty can provide electric and water connections for as many as 900 RV's with 3 dump stations on the grounds. Four buildings containing 40,000 Sq. Ft. of open space makes the Fairgrounds a perfect place for our rally. Located just 7.5 miles off the I-10 Interstate, it is nestled between Casa Grande on the West, Coolidge to the North, and Eloy to the South. The location ("warm spot") of these three lovely towns, in the great southwestern desert of the United States, bodes well for ideal weather conditions for the February Retiree Rally. And "Hey--Guess What"? A Super Wal-Mart and a Tanger Factory Outlet mall are in the area.

In later issues of Camping Today local and regional attractions such as Golf courses, restaurants, places to shop, National and State parks and monuments will be identified and located. There's a lot to see and do in the area. It's never too early to start planning!
