FROG Rally

FROG Rally..  Check in day..(Forest River Owner’s Group)  Their annual rally at the Goshen County Fairgrounds in Goshen Indiana. 354 coaches and over 750 people. Must be 20 different brands from big Class A’s to pop-ups.  Large staff of volunteers in golf carts to direct parking, answer questions, give rides etc… Very well organized.  Many vendors, tours, factory tours, and over 100 technicians on site to fix problems without charge.  No place for an introvert, however.. a lot of Yaa Haa Haa types here and everyone is OLD..  Our site is fine, with nice grass and all amenities but a bit close together. Can you find our Gnat among the Beasts?

Another major event is going on in the surrounding towns… various places create “quilt squares” by mass plantings of flowers.   Here is the one at the fair grounds.  We will drive around and see more in the next few days. 

The Quilt Gardens... along the Heritage Trail joins quilting, gardening and art into a one-of-a-kind event. A colorful patchwork of quilt inspired gardens and quilt-themed murals linked by the roads that form the Heritage Trail.   More than a million vibrant blooms • 19 gigantic gardens and 20 hand-painted super-sized murals • 7 communities • May 30 - October 1

  

Every quilt garden and quilt mural has its own intricate pattern, many are original designs, and each has its own unique story.  Each of the seven unique communities that host quilt gardens & murals has its own special character and fun finds you’ll want to explore.
