John, I forgot, you weren't there when we had our little R65 Meet & Greet a few years back! It's a pretty good deal rally-wise, when you 1st go in and register you pay $40, and you get a goodie bag, usually with an Airheads shop rag, maybe a key chain, etc.
Your 40 bucks covers 2 nights of camping, and you also get 2 tickets to cover your dinner Friday & Saturday nights, as well as another ticket for the door prize drawings on Sat. night. There are dozens of prizes, & the organizers try to make sure everyone wins something. There is also a half & half drawing that tickets are sold for if you're interested; last year the winner took home about $250! Breakfast is available Sat. & Sun. mornings for purchase separately if you want to buy, but bagels and donuts and coffee are also put out for free. Oh, and 2 kegs of good microbrew or imported beer are set about Friday & Saturday afternoons around 4:00, no charge - bring a mug! Â 8-)
Keep in mind though that there are NO stores, gas stations, etc, for 15+ miles from the campground, which itself is in the middle of nowhere, so anything you might need for the weekend, you'd better carry in, although trips to Boone and Wilkesboro can be a good ride on Saturday. Also worth mentioning is there are toilet and bath house facilities that are kept fairly well stocked and clean; you know how campgrounds can be. Laundry is also available if needed. Sunday it's time to leave at your leisure. Come on down, or up, or over!
