Tika Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Announcing the Fall Mid-West Toyota RV Owners Rally in New Albany, Indiana October 3-5, 2014 We're giving lots of advanced notice for the Fall Mid-West Rally this year. It will be held at the Harvest Homecoming Festival in New Albany, Indiana, across the river from Louisville, KY. This is a huge street festival with all the expected activities -- food, crafts, entertainment, and a 200-unit parade on Saturday at noon. Louisville, KY has multiple additional attractions as well: The Kentucky Derby Museum, Derby Flea Market, MegaCavern Underground Zip Line, Louisville Slugger (Baseball Bat) Factory, and more. See the links section below. Because this location is a bit farther south than previous Mid-West rallies, we are hoping to attract more Toyota RV owners that haven't been close enough to attend previously. If that is you, consider yourself invited! The Rally dates are Friday, October 3 to Sunday October 5, but you can arrive early on Thursday and stay until Monday if you like. We will be staying at Add-More RV Park just southwest of the junction of Interstate 265 and Interstate 65, about 7 miles from the Harvest Festival. (See Directions and map links below.) Saturday morning we will have "Open House" for those that want to tour each other's RVs, and see what owners have done to personalize them. Saturday afternoon is a time to visit the Harvest Festival. We suggest "car-pooling (RV-pooling)" because of limited parking in the downtown festival area. Saturday night, we have reserved the "Barn" at the RV Park for our potluck dinner. Afterwards we will light a campfire for marshmallows (weather permitting). Sunday morning we will have mentoring sessions for any newbie owners that would like to learn more about Toyota RVing. At noon we plan to caravan with all our RVs to a local restaurant for lunch. The rate is $32.10 per night -- tax included, for full hookups (30 amp connection) for 2 people. Additional guests, age 12 and up, are $5 each per night. In addition we are suggesting a $4 per rig donation to cover the cost of renting the "Barn" for our potluck. We will "pass the hat" at the event for this. Please CALL us to be put on the list of attendees. Then pay for your site reservation directly with the RV Park by printing and filling out their reservation form available online, and mailing it to the park with a check or money order for the deposit for your first night's stay (non-refundable). Sorry, credit cards are not accepted. The balance is due in cash or check upon arrival. Please find and print the reservation form here: As usual, we expect about a dozen Toyota RVs. The first 12 paid reservations are guaranteed a site with our group. After that you may be put in a spot in another section of the park. If you are new to Toyota RV Rallies, don't be shy -- we always have several first-time attendees. Call us to have your questions answered. Please note: We searched quite diligently for an appropriate Rally location reasonably close to the Harvest Festival and Louisville. Although there are some RV parks that are closer, they are not so nice. After careful consideration, we selected this one as best meeting our needs. It is reasonably quiet with lots of trees, great Wi-Fi, decent restrooms and laundry, a lovely pond, and an indoor rec room with tables for our potluck. However it does not permit bike riding, has a size limit for pets of no more than 30 pounds, and has no playground. Although the policies of this RV Park are a bit more restrictive than some, it IS a nice park, and specifically it is the only nice one that is close to the Festival -- all the others are at least 30- 45 minutes away. Therefore it's our best option, and hopefully our members will find it agreeable. We will work with the park's policies to create a rally experience that is enjoyable for us all. Now, please call us when you read this and leave us a message to say you are interested, even if you can't commit yet. Tika and Tom, 626-798-4510 Please do leave a message if you get our business voicemail (health center) and we will call you back. Directions to RV Park: From Interstate 65, take Exit 5, Veteran's Parkway. Turn left (going North) or right (going South). Go .2 miles to Sam Gwin Drive and turn right. Go another .2 miles to Progress Way and turn right. Then, go .4 miles to "Y" in the road, bear left at "Y". Follow the signs to Add-More Campground. Now for the links section.
