Not So Newlywed Game, 2012

by Keith

Valentines Day! Always a great time to get together for a good time with not only your very own valentine but also with good friends and neighbors.

And here at Rockport 35 RV park, that's exactly what we did. The main event, for the second year running, was  our version of the Newlywed Game. It was ably master-minded by Carol and Rick. Of course Carol had a band of behind-the-scenes co-conspirators, as do all major productions in the entertainment industry. That made it easy for master MCer Rick; all he had to do was do as he was told. That's hard for Rick, but last night everything worked out wonderfully.

The audience had a great time and was very appreciative of the four couples who volunteered (?) to be the active participants. As last year when Geoff and Pam were participants, this year's contestants took an an international flavor as Bob and Marie, also from Canada, were in the lineup.

Dale and Tootie are from Minnesota and are spending their second year here. Tootie was rather surprised that Dale would chose Hawai as a vacation spot with his lottery winnings. She would have bet on a fishing cabin!


Sandy and Fran are former full-timers who have settled in Wyoming but still travel in the winter. 
"You said what?"

Wayne and Betty, our A1 source of pecans, hail from the SE corner of Kansas. Both agreed that their TV is on 24/7.








And the winners: Marie and Bob, from Canada! They looked quite dapper in their matching M&Ms shirts! And did well enough in the game to win the first prize!






You can see that not only the hall but the attendees were decorated in valentine colors! And you can also see that they enjoyed the live show presented before them!




Rick did a great job, and Carol is relieved that he got them through it. Special thanks is due Janet for providing the studs for his shirt!


Marv and Bev were participants last year, when Marv provided the laugh of the game with one of his answers. Last years winners were Brenda and Dennis. Marv kept a low profile this year and helped with the cleanup.
