Escapade Staff Week

A little over a week ago, the 2012 Escapade Staff started

DSC_0117

arriving and the

DSC_0024

fellowship,

DSC_0019

fun, and

DSC_0011

food was soon to follow.

As every day passed the

DSC_0099

group grew and

DSC_0110

grew.

In the middle of all the food and fun, there were even a couple of informal

DSC_0022

staff meetings.  Here, the Parking Chairs are getting an early briefing, while...you guessed it, the rest of us were

DSC_0026

waiting on the food.

As the weekend came to an end and Monday morning dawned, it was time for all to get to work.

With everything already unloaded from

DSC_0071

Big Red, we

DSC_0048

were just waiting for

DSC_0044 

Mark and Wallace to bring

DSC_0059

the materials to us for distribution.

Once everything was unloaded, it was time to get to work.

Donna and Keith, recruited Bob's help and got to work making

welcome packs for the vendors.

There were lots of staff meetings going on throughout the week.

Mark and I, along with Norm and Mary have been busy all week

DSC_0075

hanging sponsor banners,

DSC_0093

and past Escapade banners.

While Mary and I decorated for

DSC_0135

staff Happy Hour and dinner,

Marcia and Bea were busy

DSC_0123

in the kitchen preparing lots of

DSC_0131

beautiful food trays!

As the week moved along, the

DSC_0108

golf carts were delivered,

DSC_0090

signs were hung,

DSC_0145

Welcome Bags were stuffed and

DSC_0150

and delivered to registration, and

DSC_0119

rigs started arriving.

By Friday, the pace was picking up.  The

DSC_0156

staff meetings,

DSC_0157

and staff registration were successful.

The

DSC_0162

Market area was made ready for the vendors to move in and set up their products.

As Saturday dawned, these lovely ladies were all smiles as they

DSC_0164

served the staff lots of coffee and donuts.

And,

DSC_0171

with the finishing touch made to the stage, we are ready for tomorrow's Opening Ceremonies of Escapades 2012, brought to you from Sedalia, Missouri.

  3. This looks like a ton of fun. I need to get more involved with the RV world. Anyway, if anyone is in the Kansas City area, I am fostering two Chihuahuas who would make an excellent addition to an RV family! I'd keep them but I'm already a new dog owner and these need their own special laps... They are tried and true though, they travel EXCEPTIONALLY well!
