MOC Rally--Day 3

Goshen, Indiana
Elkhart County 4H Fairgrounds

This morning George and Linda took us to the MORryde chassi plant tour.  There were so many people signed up to tour the Sterling plant that they offered the chassi plant tour to those who had previously toured the Sterling plant.

Every one had a chance to pick their favorite color MORryde t-shirt.

It was a very interesting tour.

I have no idea how far we walked, but I believe we did three different buildings plus the upstairs.

We heard that Elkhart County has an unemployment rate of 1.9% and that they need employees.  One of the problems is they need CDL drivers to move the chassis around.  They will train people to weld.

This container is contracted by the military.  It is used in Afghanistan.  It was the coolest thing we saw there.





After we returned to the fairgrounds, I walked over to the Suburban water heater seminar while Bill attend a Tredit Tire seminar.  My seminar was cancelled, so I walked back to the coach and just chilled in the air conditioning.  Did I mention that today is the first day of autumn and it was 91 degrees?

George, Linda, Harry, Carlena, Bill and I walked over to the relief sale.  Carlena quilts and she couldn't believe all the quilts that were displayed.  

Bill bought me some flowers. They smelled so good.

Carlena bought a beautiful quilt.

Look at what I found!  This is an African turtle that is 13 years old.  It's life expectancy is 100 years.

You get an idea of the size of it in this photo.

It's hard to believe how crowded the fairground are in just a few hours.
