Wherever We Go,
We Have Fun!

5th BIRTHDAY BASH

September 8, 9, 10, 2000
Sandwich Fairgrounds
Sandwich, New Hampshire

We cordially urge all to attend this event. It is a real good time, laid back, but busy. There are games, puzzles, social times, food, food, food, entertainment and more. There are tennis courts and horseshoe pits available and sometimes a small golf course laid out in the lower field.

Located at the foot of the White Mountains and in the Lakes Region, there is lots for folks to do and see if they don't want to hang around the Rally site and socialize. There will be sight seeing maps available for those who don't know their way around the area. The tourist season has slowed by now, but not closed yet. So pack up the kids and/or grandkids and come to Sandwich. This is our 6th rally/5th Birthday Party there and we have yet to have one without meeting someone new.

Ronnie Chase and Sleepy Willis have graciously consented to entertain again on Saturday night. Hopefully Dodie Frost will be able to be with them. They have always kept our toes tapping.

Hope to see you there. Come with fun in mind. There maybe some surprises!

                            Hosts: Merle & Ginny Lyon, Stuart & Marie Lyon and Russ & Donna Lowell
