Awards will be given for the best Pod experience.

Its 2014 and we have big news ------ we have moved the Fall Rally to Volo and are thrilled to be working with the folks at the Fish Lake Camping Resort in Volo IL.  Although we enjoyed 6 years in Woodstock, the campground was closed at the end of the 2013 season and we had to find a new home for this fun fall rally!  So mark your calenders and get your camping fees into Fish Lake and I will see you all in October!
