The Missouri State Good Sam Rally
Mathewson Exhibition Center
2503 W. 16th Street
Sedalia, MO 65301
Sponsored by
the MO State Committee with the Hunters as substitute Chapter hosts.
Formerly known as “The Samboree” the Rally had many activities for attendees including:
Two offsite tours: Kansas City – WWI Museum, US Federal Reserve & The Roasterie.
Whiteman Air Force Base – 509th Bomb Wing & the B-2 Stealth Bomber.
Golf Tournament, 9/22/17
Cake Walk, the State Organization provides the cakes.
Door Prizes were provided by the State Organization.
Flea Market / Craft Sale.
Pet Contest.
Entertainment – Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.
And much more.
The Whiteman Tour was a sell out. Only Jack & Jennett went from our chapter.
Memberships represented included: Hunter, Stanton, and Tschannen. On Friday the
22nd, Don and Bette Ford joined us for the day.
With only four memberships present, far short of a quorum, no business meeting was
convened.
The campers gathered on Tuesday the 19th at the Countryside RV Park in Sedalia
and after all were in we dined at the Country Kitchen.
The following morning the group convoyed to the State Fair Campground and got
the rigs settled in. The rest of the day was occupied with registration, wandering thru
the vendor displays and attending one of the several seminars scheduled. Dinner
(you know we always have to eat) was at Denny’s Diner.
Thursday morning Jack and Janette were up early and after coffee and doughnuts
headed off with the group to tour Whiteman Air Force Base. Those who stayed
behind were entertained by the seminars and games. After dinner in our rigs, the
evening activities began with a group photo of all the Rally attendees. Following the
photo were the Opening Ceremonies. Dale carried the Area 6 banner while Jim and
Linda carried the 3 Rivers Flag in the parade of Chapter Flags. The evening’s
entertainment was an all-girl group from Texas who put on an excellent music show
from the good old days of Rock and Roll.
After coffee and doughnuts on Friday morning, the Chapter hosted the Rally
Horseshoes Game. With only 4 women’s and 8 men’s teams, the games went very
quickly and we got back to the other games and the seminars. The hot dog lunch
sponsored by the Show-Me-Travelers Chapter was a popular stop before returning to
the scheduled activities. The evening entertainment was provided by “Lindley Creek”,
a family musical group from Goodson MO, highlighting traditional country, bluegrass,
gospel, and oldies music.
Following the Biscuits and Gravy breakfast sponsored by the Roadrunner Sams
Saturday morning the Flea Market and Craft Sale attracted our attention while Dale
attended the State Committee Meeting. The Cake walk and Ice Cream Social took
most of the afternoon. Janette copped us a cake and unlike any ice cream social any
of us could remember, the State Committee provided each attendee with a full pint of
either vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Each of us took home at least one container. At
the evening Awards Ceremonies Three Rivers received the 2016 Miracle Maker Award as the top contributor in Missouri. “Southern Edge” from West Plains MO closed out
the evening with Country Rock renditions of yesterdays and todays hits.
On Sunday morning, it was pack up and head home.
Over all, we agreed that this had been the best State Rally we had been to in a long time. Well planned
and executed by our State Leadership. In review, they managed and directed 2 major off-site tours, 15
seminars, 15 games and 3 professional entertainment events along with various meetings, ceremonies
and support to about 25 vendors. You are encouraged to consider attending next year’s event

ACTIVITIES: On Friday, the group visited Blue Spring near Eminence MO. The weather was hot but the water
coming from the Spring was in the mid 50s. being very remote, visitors hiked about a half mile from a
parking lot at the end of a 3-mile gravel road
On Saturday, our campers also ventured to Alley Spring Mill, another remote attraction (meaning
another hike was required) near Eminence where they found lunch at Ruby’s.
That evening, after enjoying a potluck super of sides by 3 Rivers attendees and BBQ slabs, burgers and brats cooked by our campground host in the clubhouse, Bob Burhorn, along with his Ukulele, joined the musicians to rock the Pickin Parlor at the campground with his rendition of “I don’t look good naked anymore”

ACTIVITIES:
By Friday the seasoned "treasure" hunters had found many "great buys". Others spent the day exploring the area including visiting the Spring. The group split up for dinner with some partaking of Country Bob's buffet, while others dined and sipped some wine at "Just A Taste". The evening was spent around the camp fire.
Saturday activities again included exploring; St. James to find and view the murals, also visiting Cuba MO and searching out the "Snelson - Brinker House", a log house constructed in 1834. The house with privy and smoke house while falling into disrepair, is a striking reminder of the way some of the early settlers of our state lived. In the afternoon David and Kathy Lynch joined us. For dinner, we all ventured north of Rolla to a new restaurant , "Randy's Roadkill BBQ and Grill". The c onsensus was that the food was extremely good and that the venue was definitely camper casual. After return to camp it was back to the fire or for some, while a few others retired to the club room to surrender to the game known as "99".
On Sunday, pot luck breakfast followed by the Chapter meeting.
