Moderators topgun2 Posted February 13 Moderators Share Posted February 13 Sorry for the thread hijack - but I trust you musical types that are going to be at the Rally are organizing an evening of picking! Just let us know what campsite or area and we'll be there.

Moderators topgun2 Posted February 13 Author Moderators Share Posted February 13 OK - looks like you got the ball rolling! I've not seen a Rally schedule - yet - but, unusually there is nothing "formally" scheduled for Thursday and Friday nights. So, after everyone has supper on their own and/or an adult beverage or so you are free to wander around, meet up with friends, go up to the Lodge to watch the sun set (or simply watch it set over the lake from the beach) or just try to relax from your day's adventures in Ollie land. So, for at least a couple of hours (I think that the campground quiet hours start at 10pm) you can pick away. Hopefully others that enjoy this sort of thing will either show up at your place or agree to meet for some music and laughs.

I’ll have my banjo but since I’ve only been picking for a couple of years I’m not sure I’m good enough to join in unless everything is in G with I, IV, and V chords! 🪕.

At the top of this page - click "Home" Then click "Owners" Then click "Annual Rally" Note that if you still need more info there is a number to call at the bottom of the "Annual Rally" page. It is unlikely that you will get specific information regarding a specific schedule of Rally activities yet - but - historically there have been presentations on various subjects in the Ballroom of the main Lodge each day plus a number of vendors and current model Oliver trailers are available most of each day in an area down by the lake. There is time for visiting with other owners and there is usually an opening reception and a closing meeting. Do you have a specific question in mind?

We could share around some charts beforehand and pick a time and place to meet. Should be fun. 4 Gregg & Donna Scott and Missy the Westie - The Flying Sea Turtle - Hull # 145 Western NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyGS Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 OK... thinking Friday night around 6pm at the Beach Pavilion. BYOC and BYOB. I'll put together a list of about 10 popular songs that people know the words to. Or, maybe have handouts with just the words so folks can sing along. I'll post a google drive location that people who play instruments can download the charts from . After the singalong, we can have a signup sheet for an Open (no) Mic, and folks can perform for us. Simple and easy. Who do I have to sweet talk to schedule the Beach Pavillion?

Moderators topgun2 Posted February 14 Author Moderators Share Posted February 14 You might want to pass this by Matt Duncan. As far as I know - things like the Beach Pavilion have a fee associated with them by the State Park. However, more than likely the vendors will be in the usual location (I can't remember what that is called) and if that is the case then Oliver has already arranged with the State Park for use of the "shelters" in that area. Just saying. Bill p.s. thanks for taking the music by the horns on this one. Hopefully a bunch of pickers will get with the program. 1 2023 Ford F150 Lariat 3.5EB FX4 Max Towing, Max Payload, 2016 Oliver Elite II - Hull #117 "Twist" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Thank you so much for all the information Topgun2. We are entertaining the thought of trying to attend if there are some available sites.

Two things - 1 - as you may already know - you need to register with Oliver 2 - you need to register/get a campsite with the State Park Even if the State Park has no available sites (I'm guessing that they still do have sites available) there are "bondocking" sites available very close by.

We haven’t had much owner music at past rallies. Mike I mess around with a banjo too. Probably need to pick it up and get back into it. Over time, I've discovered that I really suck at it, but the more I practice, I've discovered that I simply "suck" a little faster. Would be nice to hand my banjo to someone else who can make some nice sounds come out of it. 3 2018 Elite II, Hull #414 (the very last 2018 produced).
