The Last Photo of the Truck Rally

Dinner with Roy & Deb

When the Rigidply driver pulled the flatbed stage out of North Hall just before 3:30 p.m., we knew the Truck Rally was officially over for 2012.

There is so much to say, so many wonderful, behind-the-scenes happenings, so many blessings, and so many treasured moments, that it would take too long for this happily weary lady to begin sorting and posting some of my 1,086 photos. So I will begin tomorrow evening.

After the Rally Celebration and catered lunch, the Rally Committee met to discuss what worked and what wasn’t successful this year. After a final check that all doors to the Expo were locked, Cerwin drove International Chapel #1 back to its home at the International Office. I followed in our RAV4 so he would eventually have a way home.

Within minutes Roy and Deb came to pick us up to take us to a special location for Cerwin’s Father’s Day gift.

To my surprise, we ended up at Cameron Estate Inn & Restaurant, Mount Joy, Pennsylvania.

It was a special treat for me, because my mom grew up just a few miles from here. I went by this place many times as a young girl when we went to visit my Grandpa and Grandma Hawthorne, but have never been here.

I will tell you more details about this wonderful evening in a later post.

It was delightful. Thanks Roy & Deb.
