Today we hung out at the RV resort. It was a very nice day, again. The resort here has an "Escape to the Islands" day. There were several activities going on, and it was all kicked off with a parade up and down the main street of the resort. Entries were the various clubs/groups that make up life here.
We all plunked our chairs down at the end of our street to enjoy the parade.
The various clubs usually had a golf cart all decked out. For those of you not familiar with RV resorts, MANY people have golf carts to use as transportation within the resort. This one was for the Bridge Club. The sign says "Fun Bridge". I've played Bridge a few times...and I find it an oxymoron..."Fun Bridge". Ha.
I'm not sure of the club here, but it had the Jamaican Bobsled Team! Oh yeah, it was an escape to the islands day.
Here's Bev, our neighbour. She is part of the card club - she and her husband like playing cards.
This was our group sitting at the end of our street. The one sitting with his hand raised is Roger. That's Bev's husband, and he's the one who has looked after Tibby when we've been away for a long period of time.
As I mentioned, there were several events going on during the day. Our plan was to partake of their casino night in the auditorium, which we did. After our street happy hour, we went there as it started at 5 pm and was running until 9. Roger and Bev were looking after the Roulette table. The deal was you paid $10 to get in and you got $2,200 in funny money to spend in the casino plus a ticket for door prizes. You could buy another ticket for $2,000. There were lots of games including poker, black jack, spin the wheel, ring toss, beanbag toss, car race, and 2-3 other games. A fun night. We left for dinner part way through, then went back to finish off the night. You had to be present for the door prizes, and we ended up buying 3 more tickets with cash winnings we had. We won a necklace.
All in all, a great event. Proceeds of the casino went to Habitat for Humanity.

The flag-bearers - notice the 2nd flag.
I'm not sure this is really a club here...but I liked it anyway.

Oops...the fire truck was a little late.
