Forty five coaches arrived at the Balloon Fiesta on October 6 and were quickly parked and settled. The 1st order of business was to stop by the registration tent to pick up our rally bags which were beautifully embroidered by Co-Rally Master Sandy Brown.
Rally Masters Rett and Claire Porter have secured an excellent spot for the Beaver Rally, it is on a hill that overlooks the Balloon Field. Rett and Claire, along with Co-Rally Masters Lamar Keck, Karen Rogers, and  Terry & Sandy Brown dry camped for a week in advance to secure the spot for the rally. Upon arrival the Eager Beavers setup their chairs along the hill that overlooks the Balloon Field to ensure a front row view of the Fiesta activities.
For the evening social everyone brought heavy hors d'oeuvres to share. Yummy food and good company made for a great social.
