Saturday, July 17, 2021 Tom put away awning, mat, chairs overnight in case of storms. Didn’t happen! At 8:00 when I got out of bed Tom was patiently waiting to cook breakfast: egg sandwiches! By 10:00 we were in the cart and reconnoitering the fairgrounds for action. The exhibitors were open, and I tried hard to find something to buy . . . no luck. At noon the VAC (Vintage Airstreamers) drove their rigs around the fairgrounds! What a wonderful treat that was for all of us, considering they had to hook up, leave their camping spot, and unhook again after the parade. At 6:30 we all meandered our way to the opening ceremony, racing a large storm front. We found a bull-pen right up front labeled “Region 4” and claimed seats. The rally band put on an impressive show of John Phillip Susa tunes, and played a wonderful march to kick off the presentation of the officers and flags. Our flag carrier, Gary, got one of the biggest cheers as he walked across the front with our NOVA flag. The opening ceremony was organized, impressive, and quick. The weather had not been as hot today, and a few showers had cooled it down at times. But, the humidity was high, and when we returned to the Silvermine, I was ready for a shower, and to stay inside the Silvermine.

We don’t go camping any more . . . we go ‘streamin’ ! The “SIlvermine and His” is our 2018 25' Airstream Serenity with Salsa interior and front twin beds., and ‘streamin’ is the name we use to describe our adventures. Stream along as we document everything from weekend trips to longer summer excursions and full-blown vacations. You know what they say: if you’re not in an Airstream – you’re just camping!
