2021 Campvention Recap

After a tumultuous 2020 with no Campvention and no Retiree Rally the 129 units (families, couples, singles) attending FCRV’s 61st Campvention at Elkhorn, Wisconsin welcomed the opportunity to get together with friends both old and new. Joyful greetings of “Hey, glad to see you, how have you been?” accompanied by hugs, hand shakes and fist bumps were heard everywhere. Some of the early arrivals took time to “Wander Wisconsin” as the theme suggested. Unfortunately travel restrictions still in effect in Canada prevented most Canadians from attending.

2021 Retiree Rally Postponed Due To Covid

After careful consideration about the 2021 International Retiree Rally we have made a decision to postpone the Retiree Rally until 2022. Even though many of us have gotten vaccine shots, we feel it might still be too early to be safe. Mineola Civic Center is a more compact facility than we are used to, so we don’t feel we can social distance in the building, even though we would be wearing masks. We just want everyone to feel safe about coming and we want everyone to stay healthy.
