It is time to reserve your space at the 6th bi-annual (a year late due to the virus) Mega FMC Owners Club Rally! Our Mega rallies are so named as they are held somewhere towards the middle of the continent so that the most owners possible can come from both coasts and all points in between. This allows you to meet other owners that you would not normally meet and allows you to put a face to a name you see on the internet!
Since it is 11 years after the first Mega Rally, the board of directors decided to return to the location of our first Mega Rally – Pioneer Village in Minden, NB. Here is a link to the site’s website: https://www.pioneervillage.org and one to the museum page which lists the many attractions: http://pioneervillage.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article...
As you can see, the RV Park where we will gather is adjacent to and part of the museum complex. The Museum is quite extensive and covers roughly the period from 1850 to 1950. You can explore the range of exhibit types on their website and, given my experience, you will want to use lots of time exploring the various exhibits from the steam engines, to the sod house, to the aircraft engines, to the tractors, to the ladies dresses, to the early cars, etcetera.
The 20 reserved spaces – YES, twenty! - are the entire two back rows of the campground! That is the same area we used in 2010 where this video was made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tnDIsLqhyI . Note to self: lubricate the door hinge! Here is a link to a view of the portion of the campground where we will be staying: http://www.fmcowners.com/mbbs22/photos/photo-thumbnails.asp?albumid... The south row (lower row in the photo) is spaces 30-38 (R to L) and the north row is spaces 39-49 (R to L). All spaces are back in and have water and electric only. There is an onsite dump station for your use either coming or going or both.
When you make your reservation, I recommend reserving the spaces from the middle going out each direction so that we will have the FMC’s adjacent to each other in the event that not all spaces are reserved. If you want to be adjacent to a specific person, I suggest that you coordinate your space number with that person. If your coach is not currently road ready, at the front of the RV Park is their motel so you can still come and just stay at the motel – same phone number! That means that EVERYONE can come and see other coaches and meet other owners and participate in the many FMC “How do I ….. ?” discussions.
To get the group rates and to reserve your site, call 308-832-2750 and advise them that you are with the FMC group and give them the dates – June 24-27, 2021. Arrive on Thursday and leave on Sunday. You can come earlier and stay later if you desire. They will request a credit card number, but will not put any charge on the card at this time. The Park and the museum have separate rates. This is to provide flexibility for attendee’s as some will want to spend more time in the museum than others.
The RV Park group rate is $25 per night. That is very economical! The group museum cost is flexible as it is $12.50 per adult for the first day and $6.25 per adult per day for each subsequent sequential day. Children are $6.00 the first day and $3.25 each subsequent sequential day. The effective combined cost is much lower than the cost of many RV parks so come and enjoy yourself. There are mature trees that provide plenty of areas with shade to relax in after visiting the museum and solving all problems FMC related!
After you have made your reservation, please, please, PLEASE send your name, coach number and site number to Stephen@Heinrichs.com or text it to 916-425-7996. Remember, it is best to make your reservation now and not wait and forget and be scrambling later. It also is a great help to those doing the planning for the group to get a handle on who and how many are coming.
Thank you,

Location: Cottage Grove, OR | Yeah! It will be good to see you and Liza Lee again. You are at the edge of the west and another person is coming from mid Florida so we are spanning the USA! |

Location: Soquel, CA. | FYI: when I booked, they could not assign me a specific site due to they system being updated or some such thing. Not sure when that will be remedied. But, they said I could call back at a later date and get that done. |

Location: Cottage Grove, OR | At this time we have 10 FMC owners have reserved spaces.
In a few days, the unreserved spaces that were initially reserved for the rally will be released and so if you register later you may or may not be within the group area.
So now it the time to reserve you space if you have not already done so. We have coaches coming from both the east and west coasts so it will be a good rally. Unfortunately, our Canadian members and friends are unable to attend due to border issues. We have several first time attendee's that will be there so come and meet the new folks.
See you there,
