The Peace Gardens have reserved the entire campground for our rally — consisting of 36 electric and water sites which will be for those who medically need power (ex. CPAP machines, etc.) on a first paid rally fee basis; and a large overflow area which can accommodate approx 100+ RV’s as dry camping. We may be able to have daisy chain water and they have two shower houses – one at each end of the campground site. Hotel accommodations and alternate campgrounds will be provided.
We are finalizing the costs for meals, parking, tours, etc., with the Peace Garden staff and then will be able to do up our rally brochure and get the registrations on-line on our Region website. This is a historic event for the WBCCI and we hope that many of you will be able to attend.
