Florida State Rally 
5-8 March 2009

"Salute to the Military
"

                      
                                                                             
     is the theme for the 2009 Florida State Rally.

Sponsored by the Florida Winnie Gators, this rally is sure to be full of sunshine and fun, so we hope you will make plans to attend. Held at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, Florida, the Rally officially begins at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 5th. Make sure you arrive in time to attend the Opening Ceremonies as we Salute our United States Military and honor our soldiers, past and present. This is one ceremony you will NOT want to miss!

After the opening ceremonies, get ready for three nights and four days of jam-packed excitement. Friday evening we have scheduled the fantastic "Las Vegas Revue" This show was voted the number one show on the Sun Coast for 13 years in a row starring Ruby Tuesday and Keith Coleman impersonating over 30 different characters. Keith and Ruby have toured extensively in the United States and Europe.

Saturday evening you then will see the amazing "Entertainment Review". The group consists of three separate casts of all young girls, ranging in age from 6-18 performing song and dance routines. Entertainment Revue raises money for various charity groups donating approximately 25% of its performance monies to groups such as the American Cancer Society, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Hillsborough Education Foundation, All Children’s Hospital, and many more.

Rally Fees: This year’s rally will includes 3 nights of camping, 2 catered dinners, 1 catered lunch, 2 catered breakfasts and 1 continental breakfast. We will also have a wine and cheese party, ice cream social, a pet parade as well as exciting entertainment. As usual, Vendors’ Hall will be filled with bargains and services for your motor home. There will be many informational seminars, and games with prizes for the winners. Winnebago and Itasca motor homes will be on display with the latest innovations for you to check out. We encourage you to enter your handiwork in the "craft show". We utilize the same categories and guidelines that are used at GNR. Fees include electricity and buddy water with dump stations and bath houses on the Rally grounds.
