Thursday, July 17th Goldrush

Everyone got together for breakfast at the Cracker Barrel then headed to the convention center. Many events were going on and we spent the day there. Dirty Bingo, Vendors, Bike show, Riding competition and more. We went to the Q & A with ED (Bruce Keenon.) It was interesting. We stayed for Chapter Olympics and Chapter H Iowa got SILVER!!! Good job!!



We did our skit - gals in black gauchos, our GREEN shirts, GREEN beaded bandana scarves and GREEN Cowgirl hats. Guys wore jeans, GREEN shirts, had GREEN bandanas, and GREEN Cowboy hats. Each couple had painted a cardboard copy of their motorcycle and we sang our own version of "ON TOP OF OUR MOTORCYCLE" to the tune of On Top of Old Smokey. We won 2nd place in the musical skit! We had a lot of fun preparing for this and we got a lot of great comments about all of our GREEN, including the gals scarves with the beads and all the GREEN cowboy hats! :)


Closing ceremonies covered awards and recognitions. There was to be a slide show but there was some computer technology problems and they weren't able to show pics.
Region C got 2nd place in the ice cream eating contest. 1st place had received a silver spoon and Region C received a regular spoon. Randy and Jen will post all the winners in our region soon.

Bob Beverage was in the last few for the $5,000.00 drawing but was 2nd to the last name drawn. So close...
A lady from Canada won the bike raffle and chose the Harley. We said our good byes to our GWTA friends and family as everyone prepared to go home or continue on vacation. As we left the parking lot, George Hoy and Peggy Clark arrived and were continuing on with Rick, Patti, Stan and Tammy. Everyone packs up and leaves Billings in the morning.
