We decided to attend the rally when we saw the entertainment lineup - Vince Gill, Bobby Vinton, and Peter Noone (Herman's Hermits). Since we attended an earlier rally this year, we decided to volunteer and get free camping. So the first three days we spent 5 hours a day parking RVs - aprox 3,000 rigs; then we ushered for 3 of the concerts. Fortunately the parking days were cool and dry. That kept us pretty busy.
The crack in our windshield continued to expand, so the rally provided an excellent opportunity to replace the windshield. They came to our site and removed the windshield, put in the new one, and moved the registration and inspection stickers.

The concert arena was outdoors - the bleachers seated 3000, with a roof, but open on sides. In front of the bleachers were 3000 chairs. The Gill concert was delayed because of a thunderstorm. Everyone got soaked; but everybody stayed. 6000 people tried to squeeze into the bleachers. Eventually the concert started and Vince was wonderful. Bobby and Peter were also great concerts. The final three days were wet - still cool, but lots of rain. I just forgot to take pictures.
