Just a reminder: Each Tuesday at 2:00, there is a Computer Help Session in the clubhouse.
Keith, aided greatly by DeVere, will try to answer your questions or solve problems or teach you a new trick or two about computing, the internet, email, photos, whatever. We try to help everyone who comes.
So far, a lot of folks on the park have gotten the help they've needed to enjoy their computers more. Can we help you? Show up on Tuesdays and give us a try.
This is your chance to benefit from decades of the trial-and-error experiences of these two guys at no cost!!!

It's a Day for the Dogs!
Saturday, February 23, is fast approaching. That's the day for Rockport 35 RV Park's Hot Diggity Dog show and social time.
There'll be white dogs like Heidi and Maximillian shown above.
There'll be black dogs. Some will be small dogs with tall owners, like Richard shown below.
But my favorite of all will be the hot dogs! Bring your own and cook 'em the way you like 'em. Meet new friends, both animal and human, and have a great time in this definitely informal setting!

Hot Diggity Dog Coming!
Saturday, February 23, marks the second annual dog show at Rockport 35 RV Park. This will be the peak of the social season for the park dogs, to be sure.
If you are one of the few dogless residents, come anyway and enjoy your four-footed neighbors. They'll parade around, some in costume and some not. But all with proud owners, anxious to show them off.
After the parade, some will do tricks. And some will not do tricks, even though their owners thought they would. One can never tell what will---or won't---happen!
After the formalities, we'll have our "dogs" ---hot dogs, brats, whatever! The grills will be hot, so bring what you want and cook it the way you want it cooked.
This will be another fun event at Rockport 35 RV Park, so come mingle with your friends and neighbors at this very informal gathering of man and beast.

Review of Social Events
A lot has happened at the park since the last post. Here's a quick listing:
Wedding
Allison performed the first wedding ceremony to be held at Come-As-You-Are Church, the church located right here on the park. Lena and Dennis tied the knot in an appropriate ceremony before many of the park's residents.
Jeanie served as ring bearer and did a great job, as she does with each of the many tasks she takes on here at the park. Charlotte and others decorated the hall in a "heart red" motif.
Step of Faith
Wayne and Dee, the Step of Faith duo who have been in the park for some weeks, have moved on to minister to different folks from a different home base.
We were fortunate to have them return this past Sunday to deliver the message at "our" Come-As-You-Are Church. They announced that they plan to take their unique ministry of song and word to five states which they have not visited this summer.
Fish Fry
Last Friday evening, the social event of the season was enjoyed by 128 park residents. The frying, serving, eating, and program went off very smoothly, largely due to two factors:
Tony headed up a great facilities crew to ready the hall for the event. And a group of great folks manned the cookers and kitchen so that we all went away with well-satisfied tummies.
After the dinner, several residents shared their talents with their friends and neighbors. Ron favored the crowd with a few great songs from the past. Newcomer to the 35 RV entertainment scene was Carl, who sang his original composition Full-timing in a Motorhome to the delight of the RVers.
And the fish stories contest must not be forgotten! Emcee Keith Williams announced that both amateur and professional liars were encouraged to participate. And participate they did! Chief Judge Tom awarded first prize to Russ for a true story about the big one.
If you missed the fish fry this year, ask your neighbor about it and make plans now to attend the 2009 version!
- Lena and Dennis were married.
- Step of Faith ministered at Sunday services.
- The annual Fish Fry was a resounding success.

Social Event of the Season: Fish Fry
Mark Friday, February 8, on your calendar right now so you won't miss the annual fish fry here at the park! Because of the popularity of this event and the size of the hall, seating is limited so get your tickets as soon as the sign-up sheet is available in the office.
Park fisherpersons have been contributing their catches already. There'll be plenty of great eats, to say the least.
But wait, there's more!
Following the meal, there'll be entertainment provided by talent from your park friends and neighbors. Some of these have kept their talents hidden in the closet. But at the fish fry, you'll be able to see them in action and cheer them on.
With your encouragement, American Idol may be their next stop!
Here's how you can help: If you are aware of one who sings, dances, performs magic, or has any other expertise in the performing arts, please do them a favor and you contact me! They'll go on the list for consideration. All contacts will remain confidential! Just let me know: Keith Williams, #80.

Note: Sunday Music Jams A Big Hit!
Each Sunday afternoon at 2, musicians from the area converge on Rockport 35 RV Park for an afternoon of "jammin'." Joanne is the resident sponsor and does a fine job, supported by husband Bob. She nearly fills the house!
Ken joins us from another park and brings his enthusiasm for music making. I'll have to ask him about the difference between a pair of spoons in the key of C and one in the key of G.
Below are three regular participants from 35 RV: Delbert, Chuck, and Ervin.
Ervin comes from Montana. He said the life in Minneapolis became too hectic, so he retreated to Montana. If you love the old polkas and waltzes, keep your eye out for Ervin at the corner of 4th Street. If you're lucky, you'll catch him out by his truck camper playing away in his own unique style and enjoying every note.
