As you probably know, the fine Airstreamers from the Wally Byam Caravan Club International are currently holding their international rally on the Missouri State Fairgrounds.
They could have had it anywhere but they chose to have it here and I’d like them to know that we certainly appreciate that decision. It has been our honor and our privilege and hope that they have found the Queen City of the Prairies to their liking.
