“SUPERBOWL WEEKEND” was the theme for the Caloosa
Winnies meeting February 2 – 5, 2013 at Lazy Days RV Resort in Seffner
Florida. We were happy to share the weekend with members of the
Buccaneer Winnies, Spacecoast Winnies and Pete & Gayle Putman from
Funtime Travelers. 35 coaches enjoyed all the festivities beginning with
Happy Hour on Saturday at 4:00pm. We also welcomed guests Larry & Doris
Pigg who actually joined as members before the weekend ended! They were
recruited by our new members Ed & Carolyn Thomas. Both couples actually
bid on the same coach at an RV show! Larry & Doris won, but Ed & Carolyn
got one a little later! We’re delighted to have them all as new members!
Saturday evening we all traveled to nearby Golden
Corral for a huge feast at their buffet! After dinner we all returned to
the Rec Hall for a game prepared by Chris Ross which was played in
teams. It brought lots of laughs as we all competed for a prize of
chocolate footballs!
Sunday morning the caterer at the park put on
breakfast for us which was a huge spread to get our day off to a good
start. In the afternoon we played Bingo with the winners splitting the
pot of money collected.
Lazy Days set up a big screen TV in the Rec Hall
for us which was awesome! Everyone brought heavy Hors d’Oeuvres – you
never saw so many tables filled with such great food!! As the game
progressed with everyone watching and rooting for their favorite team
the co-hosts were setting out ice cream and toppings for half time
treats! Jerry Miller organized a football pool for the winners based on
the game score which added to the fun! Most everyone stayed around until
the game ended many hours later – and of course we enjoyed all the wacky
commercials on the big screen!
Monday morning we held our Potluck Breakfast –
again with tables filled with great food! The “Team Meeting” (business
meetings) were held at 10:00am with much discussion about the upcoming
March Rally and our parking duties. David Nobert and Pete Wightman
outlined what the tasks will be and have organized a schedule to make
the parking go very smoothly.
In the afternoon many members went to visit a local
Manatee Viewing Area, thanks to Bud Swift for organizing the event.
There was a nice museum and guides to give information and answer
questions.
Back at the Rec Hall it was time for Happy Hour at
4:00pm, followed by dinner of “Walking Tacos” prepared by the hosts!
This was a fun event – some have never had this treat so it was a nice
surprise for them! The members brought dishes to compliment the tacos
including GREAT desserts! Chris Ross had more games for us to play – a
Memory Game of looking at a table of football items and returning to
seats to try to remember what was there! Then another relay game by
teams of carrying a football across the room on a spoon and passing the
spoon off to teammates. Lots of laughs and cheers for the teams and it
was a fun game!
Tuesday morning was our traditional donut & bagel
breakfast before we all traveled home. We like to have visitors to our
group so be watching our website. Also check the website www.witclub.com
