Syracuse Rally
Part II

On Saturday afternoon as we headed over to the main stage area for the final concert we saw the folks who had signed up to renew their vows. The outfits ranged from original wedding gowns to some pretty awful ones, but typified by the below with the dog whose sign says, "Best Friends Wedding" ... aww.



While waiting for the Reba concert to start we enjoyed some wine ... made tastier by Jo-Anne's "sippy cup" sortof similar to that used by grandson EV ... eh ... maybe not quite.


Then the main event started with Reba hitting the stage in front of a crowd of about 6,000. We were in folding chairs on the lawn but it was a perfect 70 degrees and the sound system was flawless and her band was so talented to the last member.



This was an amazing two hour show and the crowd did a standing ovation as she left the stage dressed as in the above photo ...



... and re-entered a few moments later dressed in the famous red dress to sing "Fancy" one of her greatest hits ... wow what a performer!

Our RV was close enough to walk home to as we enjoyed the perfect weather that evening. We watched the shows, we shopped, and we saw and met some of the neatest folks on the road today.



Above is the view toward our RV ... brown one about fourth down on the left side and about 2,000 of our closest RV buddies on a sunnier day as it dried out a bit.

Off Sunday back to Barrie to rest from the excitement for a bit ... but we are thinking about the next Rally in Atlanta with the Beach Boys in October .... thinking ... thinking.
