THINGS TO CONSIDER​    

We have uneven ground at this rally site.  Please be careful where you step!    Pets are welcome!  Please clean up after your pet! Beech Place Farm is currently planted in soybeans that may be harvested at the time of this rally.  If so, there may be some dusty conditions.  We will need VOLUNTEERS to make this a great time for all of us!  Please join us with your volunteer spirit.

Please expect a list of other optional things you may partake ofduring the free time of this rally.  Things like the Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Museum, Owensboro Racing and Gaming (casino), Green River Distillery, Consumer Mall (antiques, collectibles, unique items, maybe some stuff), Owensboro Fine Art Museum, possibly some October Fest venues, Ried’s Orchard, etc.  

We’ll have more details (driving directions, etc.) about many of the above possibilities upon your arrival at Beech Place! You may drain grey water discreetly at your site at Beech Place. No formal black water dump is available except in emergency.  Of course there will be time available during the rally for us to deal with any Kentucky Airstream Club business or hear from our Region officers.

We should be able to accommodate 12-15 trailers!
