by Sylvia Smith January 14 16, 2011 the meeting for the Florida State Winnie Gators was held at Central Florida Fairgrounds near Orlando, FL. Several coaches arrived a few days early to spend time with friends. For the weekend we had a total of 52 coaches registered. Thursday, at 4:00pm Happy Hour was enjoyed by all, and after dinner at local restaurants many members came back to the hall for games and cards. Friday morning at 8:00am 48 people boarded a bus we chartered to take us to the Tampa RV Supershow! Everyone spread out to visit new coaches at dealers, and check out the vendors selling a variety of things we just cant do without! At 2:30pm we boarded the bus and returned to the fairgrounds. Along the way we did games, awarded prizes and had some good snacks. Happy Hour commenced at 4:00pm, some of our volunteers sold tickets and we awarded 3 money raffle prizes to the lucky winners!
