There's something for everyone!
Big Red Number Photo Contest:
Our Airstream Club Big Red Numbers have a rich history. We're celebrating our Big Red Numbers at this year's International Rally with a fabulous, fun photo contest! Everyone is invited to participate.
Upload as many photos as you'd like (there will even be a winning prize for the person who uploads the MOST photos!) to enter into any of these four categories: 1) ROLLING TO ROCK SPRINGS 2) BEST BRN DISPLAY 3) BEST WESTERN CAMP and 4) MOST CREATIVE CAMP
All photos should be taken either on the way to Rally2023 or during Rally2023. Visit https://www.airstreamhunter.com/brn to upload your photos and to vote for your favorites!
Special thanks to Airstream Hunter, for sponsoring our contest!
Bike Excursion:
Folks can simply bring the bike they feel most comfortable riding. Riding groups head out to ride every morning starting at 7 a.m. and returning by 8:30 a.m. Usually, the bike excursions cover about 10-15 miles and try to keep the speed around 10 mph. Most of the riding will be on paved surfaces so people of all skill sets and bike tires can keep up.
If you're a more aggressive rider, you'll find your people to plan a route that may include longer rides with more climbing involved. Last but not least, the cruise set (slow riders) will simply set out to ride together around the Sweetwater Events Complex. There are usually volunteers to cover all three skill levels/rides.
Special thanks to our Committee Chair, Will Kushto for organizing and Equal-i-zer Hitch for sponsoring this year's Bike Corral!

Do you draw? Paint? Quilt? Work with wood? String beads? Make jewelry? Knit? Or have some items in your Airstream you'd like to move along?
Calling all crafters, swappers (and shoppers!) coming to Rock Springs for the 2023 International Rally!
The annual Flea Market is also a Craft Fair. Organizers are looking for any crafters or swap vendors interested in selling their wares to sign up for a table to display and sell your work.
The Flea Market/Craft Fair is scheduled for Friday, June 30, from 9 a.m. - 12 noon in the West Pavilion.
There is no charge for your 4’ table space. Please bring your own table cover and displays.
Vendors must sign up ahead of time using the form at https://bit.ly/fleacraft (or in person at the Welcome Area in the West Pavilion by 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 27th) so we know how many tables to set up.
This event is always lively, a fun place to find all sorts of treasures, and will be even better with more crafter participation!

Stargazing Sponsored by Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply
Monday, June 26 & Thursday, June 29 - 10 p.m.
Wyoming is home to some of the darkest skies in the United States. Due to its low population density and minimal light pollution, you can see the stars more clearly than in many other parts of the country. While bringing a telescope along can enhance your stargazing experience, you can see many of Wyoming's night features, including the Milky Way, in stunning detail with the naked eye. Grab a friend (or come solo!) and meet up at the Boar’s Tusk Bonfire where you’ll get to view the night sky in a rare and breathtaking depth. Thanks to our sponsor, Murdoch’s Ranch & Home Supply, for donating prizes to be raffled off to the lucky ones with the stars aligned in their favor!
