week. Learn about RV safety, tips and tricks for boon docking (dry camping), maintaining your RV, ways to earn income on the road, opportunities for volunteering some of your time throughout your travels and much, much more. More than 60 seminars take place over four of the fi ve days at Escapade. Still, the heart of Escapade is community. Social gath erings big and small take place daily, where everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in. Many friendships made at Escapade fl ourish for a life time. We often are asked by fi rst-time attendees if they’ll feel like an outsider in a group where so many know each other. The answer is a resounding “absolutely not!” Each year, “First timers” make up an average of 50% of the attendance at Escapade. Those new to this event quickly experience the warm welcome Escapees so willingly give. They soon see themselves as a valued member of the community. There are no strangers at Escapade! FEATURED ENTERTAINMENT AND FUN ACTIVITIES At Escapade, we try to provide entertainment that’s current, relevant and something everyone will enjoy. Here’s some of what we have planned this year. Sunday evening—We’re thrilled to bring Native Spirit back for another exciting and moving performance. Native Spirit invites you to take a step into the culture and dances of America’s First People. You’ll witness the beauty and grace of color and movement as the air resonates with the beautiful and rhythmic sounds and dance of Native Americans. Through their entertaining, educational and sometimes humorous presentation, you

will see dances that have survived thousands of years. Native Spirit has performed throughout North America, Central America and Europe. Leader Brian Hammill and his son Nedallas are World Champion Hoop Dancers and will be bringing eight performers to Escapade for an unforgettable evening. Monday evening—Few Miles South will get your toes tapping with their classic country and honky-tonk style. This up and coming not-so-classic country group writes and produces their own songs and has been awarded Best International Music Video for their song, “On Down the Road.” Along with their own songs, they’ll be performing a lot of classic country songs you haven’t heard in years. They’ll bring smiles to your faces with their fresh sound of country music. Tuesday Night Gig—Kick back or dance to some classic rock n roll performed by No Reply. Either way you’ll have fun while listening to some great live music outdoors. After a full day of learning, what could be a better way to unwind? BACK AGAIN BY POPULAR DEMAND! Escapade’s Got Talent! will take place Wednesday evening. Every year, Escapade attendees look forward to EGT, our very own talent show. There’s no telling what acts you’ll see from your fellow attendees and it’s always a lot of fun. If you’ve got a talent to share, you’ll be given the chance to perform on the Escapade stage in front of an energetic audience. Sign-ups will be available once you arrive at Escapade.
