A Huge Success! It was amazing that over 800 rigs came to the event. For Chapters, BoFs and SKP Co-Ops, we were well represented with nine chapters, 10 BoFs and eight SKP Co-Ops. Tables were staffed with fun members who were able to share information about their group and what they do. The Row was open for three days, plus an extended day. The extended “open day” was for non members and those not registered for Esca pade. These folks were able to fi nd out details about our groups and privately owned parks. This, too, was a huge success! While we were manning tables on The Row, I decided to have a little fun and inject some competi tion into the day. As members came into the ROW, they were asked to keep track of the tables and presentations as they walked around, and to vote for the following categories. Best Chapter, Best BoF, Best Co-Op and Best Overall! Each winner won a certi fi cate. The winners were: Best Chapter: Chapter 2 Rocky Mountain Best BoF: Boomers Best Co-Op: Jojoba Hills Best Overall: NudeScapers

Best BoF winners: Boomers.

We also had several raf fl es each day for those people participating in The Row. The winning ticket won one of the following gifts; a six-pack of solar motion-sensitive lights, a weather radio, a box of damp rid, a happy camper and a free three-day stay at an Escapees park. We were also able to get together for a social hour as a thank you, and a meet-and-greet with many of the leaders of Escapees to give the Chapter, BoF and SKP Co-Op leaders the opportunity to ask questions or provide feedback. The meetups were productive and fun. And, fi nally, we celebrated two wonderful anni versaries. Also, certi fi cates were given in one of the grand presentations to Chapter 21 Arizona Saguaros (35 years) and Chapter 34 Columbia River SKPS (30 years)! Congratulations to you both.
