It’s time! The Sports, Vacation, and RV show open in the Big Tent! Yay! Whether you are looking for generic items like cookware, items to upgrade your RV, new RV insurance, new places to visit, phone upgrades, big boys toys, camping memberships, workamping positions, generators, tires, or whatever it will all be there. Be sure to get some of that wonderful ice cream they serve outside the tent every year and perhaps some BBQ. Get out there and shop till you drop then get back up again because there is much more going on this weekend at the same time.
Meanwhile, if you like good down home bluegrass music, head on over to Blythe, CA to the annual Bluegrass Music Festival. The music which is performed on several stages is awesome!
Up in Lake Havasu City they will have the annual hot air Balloon Festival and Fair going on. If you want some truly exciting and colorful photos or are looking for a ride in a balloon, that is the place to be this weekend. They fly low over the London Bridge for great pics and the fair and food are pretty darn good too. The many booths will have plenty more gadgets and what not that will tempt your wallet. Be sure to get some peanuts there.
Saturday evening, Ron Opal Erickson will be performing at the Quartzsite Southern Baptist Church. There will be a revival starting there on Sunday.
The Quartzfest Amateur Radio Operators Gathering will be starting on Sunday as well.
Whoo! I’m worn out just writing about all that. Remember to pace yourselves. The Big Tent will be open till the 25th so you have plenty of time to go and don’t have to go on opening day. If you are driving over to it, keep in mind the parking by the tent fills up early and then they start routing everyone to the sandy wash past it where many vehicles get stuck. Do NOT stop! Keep moving until you find a spot and look for the harder ground to park on. You can also go park over on the northwest side of Tyson wells and walk over to be on the safe side. Please don’t block entrances to the outside swap meet aisles. Police will ticket and tow if you do.
