Washington County Fairgrounds
Fayetteville, Arkansas
We were in Fayetteville for our Airstream Region 6 Rally!
We couldn't work it out to attend in the past so we were happy to be a part!
Region 6 covers Arkansas - Tennessee - Mississippi - Alabama - Louisiana - and Florida's central time zone. Whew. That's a lot -
I'm Region 6 VAC Rep, [Vintage Airstream Club] so it was wonderful to put names with faces of so many I've had contact with these past few years!
I think it's cool that each club has a representative with their own flag -
And we had an easy drive up the I-49 to Fayetteville.
This was our first time camping in a fairground parking lot...
And we were a little concerned that the AC in our
#AishlingtheAirstream couldn't keep up...
But alas, we woke up to 64* one morning!
LOL
This was a busy rally - with lots of sight-seeing time, region six business stuff, entertainment, and just good ole visiting times...
to sit under our awning and enjoy the sunset...
[There's beauty all around us if we take the time to look for it - even in a dusty fairground parking lot close enough to hear the cars on the interstate - just sayin']
Loved the simple, FUN, flamingo decor on each table!
and Craig did an outstanding job cooking for everyone!
retro shopping at several different places!
so many wonderful art pieces, both inside and out!
It was a treat, for sure!
was a wonderful surprise!
And since we were in town we stopped by the 21C Hotel
and enjoyed a bit of their art too!
Bentonville is a cute ARTSY town with outdoor art in lots of areas around town and the neatest cubest / modern houses scattered around as people are refurbishing...
And OF COURSE we had to go the Sam Walton museum -
It sure brought back some memories of one of Craig's earliest favorite outlet shops!
But the main take-a-way for us from the rally - was time to get to know friends who enjoy camping in their airstreams as much as we do!
We had a great time!
And it's mostly thanks to these Region 6 Leaders and the Arkansas Razorback Club. I've said more than once through the years that this club knows how to have a good time and it was wonderful to be a part of it all during our time together!
Most evenings we walked back to our camper in the moonlight and settled in for a good night's rest so we could be up and at 'em the next day!
But you know what?
We're loving retirement!
[Without the dog, of course - lol]
Note: I may have grabbed a few photos off the group site - just sayin'
[Thanks for sharing]
But almost all photos in this post are mine -
