The GLAMARAMA 2013 Planning Committee traveled to Goshen for
a complete review of the facilities to assure every attendee will have an
enjoyable experience at the Elkhart County 4-H Fairground September 18-22, 2013.
The venue has wonderful buildings and open air shelters to accommodate all the
events planned. To help preserve those memories and to give GLAMA and other
visitors to the GLAMARAMA website a look at a great event a photo history has
begun. We hope you enjoy the images and the explanations provided. As part of
the support for the local community there will be a blood drive sponsored by
GLAMA on the fairgrounds all day Friday. More details to follow.
As with any venue a map with directions has been developed
to assure ease of access to the fairgrounds while avoiding as much Goshen
traffic as possible. The map will be a part of the confirmation packet mailed
to registrants. In addition, it will be posted to this website just prior to
the rally.
With so many requests received concerning arrival and
gathering procedures for caravanning groups, a plan has been put into place to
allow caravans to meet on the fairgrounds on Tuesday or later in order to
assure the group is together. Remember, all those parking together should have
the same parking criteria, ie. 30 amp and water or full hookup. Specific
instructions are part of the confirmation letter. Even if not arriving together,
all attempts to park together with friends will be honored as indicated in the
message below to chapter presidents from Rich Hahn, Parking Chair. Please note,
only one representative from the caravan should contact Rich with the
information requested.

Regarding Caravans-----------------
To all GLAMA Area Presidents
To all GLAMA Area Presidents
It is with
great excitement and anticipation that your GLAMRAMA13 planning committee is
finalizing the last arrangements for our first all volunteer Area rally. As most of you are aware we are trying to
allow as much opportunity for area clubs to camp together if they wish. To accomplish this it will be necessary for
you or a member of your club to contact me with the number of coaches, their
size and camping hookups desired. I will
make every attempt to keep the clubs together in each of the areas available ie
full hookup, 30amp and water and full generator. For the most part each of these areas is
quite removed from each other so if a club desires to be completely together
they will need to select the same hook up arrangements. I would like this information no later than
August 20, 2013.
Handicap parking
is available in each of the hook up areas but it will not necessarily be
associated with your club. Its focus is
on proximity to functions such as entertainment and venders.
I have also
been asked where the clubs can meet to organize their entry into the
grounds. We have a “gather” location on the grounds for
your members to meet and disconnect any tow vehicles before entering the
holding area. This area is not suitable
for camping overnight so other arrangements should be made if needed. This area is for caravans larger than three
units and should be approached through Gate 5.
For all other single coaches and groups of three or fewer entry through
Gate 3 will be used. Appropriate signs
and assistance will be available to guide you through this process.
The parking
crew will make every effort to park members as quickly as possible but due to
the individual nature of this process we will appreciate your patience. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any
questions you might have. Your enjoyment
during this rally is our main objective and everything possible is being done
to assure that outcome. We look forward to seeing you all at GLAMARAMA13.
