MOC Rally 2017--Day 5 and 6

Goshen, Indiana
Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds

It's been so busy, I've not taken many photos.

Yesterday Bill and I gave the North to Alaska seminar.  I surely wish Dennis Hill would have been here with all his expertise.   I believe we got rid of about 50 pounds of brochures.

The class was from 2:30 to 4 pm.  I didn't expect many to attend as Mac the Fire Guy was probably giving his last seminar before he retires, at the same time as our class.  Also the temperatures was 90 degrees and the small tent was much warmer than the large one.  I think I counted 35 people.

I have to say we were happy to have people come up after class and say they changed their minds and were now going to make the journey.  

Thankfully, my dish for the potluck was in the instant pot so all I had to do was go and get.   

After the potluck dinner, the Morey's and us walked down to the other section and visited with Harry and Carlena. 

The photo doesn't show up well, but this was the first year for movie night.  They even had a popcorn machine!

Seminars today were:  Progressive Dynamics converters, Norco Industries, Dometic/Atwood, and Dexter axles.  

We took a plant tour of the High Country.  We were the first to arrive and were waiting in a room where employees punched out.   Nearly everyone of the employees, said "hello".  One fellow stopped at the vending machines.  Bill asked him what time they started work.  The fellow proudly said he was there about 4 am, but they didn't get paid until 4:50 am.  He said he thought he was qualified to work there, but it took him 2 years to get hired.  He said they only hire the best people with a good work attitude.  He said the employees were treated very well.

After the tour at plant 17, we went to plant 4 to see all the new models.  I'm happy to say, there were only two models that I liked better than ours.  We were scheduled  to tour the customer service, but by the time we were finished with the plant tour, it was too late, so we came back to the fairground.

Keystone had a wonderful barbecue for everyone.  After the meal there was another prize drawing.  George and Rosetta were concentrating on their ticket numbers.

John and Shirley are smiling because they won a tool kit and a South Side Soda gift certificate.

Notice the Montana t-shirts that everyone was given.

We won a 135 piece tool kit.
