Airstream travel trailer owners dodge bod
weather, hove week-long rally in Perry
By EMILY JOHNSTONE
Times-Joumal Staff
FOu learn of a of things
when you spend time
traveling on the roads
that crisscross this country.
You learn the best places to sleep
and eat. You learn a lot about the
differences in terrain and weather.
Speaking of weather, one thing
you learn is how to dodge torna
dos in the midwest, Airstream
travel trailer owner Chesley
Gilmore said March 21.
Gilmore, the president of the
Region 3 Airstream group, said
that is one skill they have learned.
“Out west you can see them
coming. You just pull off and go in
a different direction,” he said.
This past week, however, he
and approximately 800 other
Airstream enthusiasts did not have
weather to worry about as sun
shine and warm temperatures
graced their regional rally at the
Georgia National Fairgrounds and
Agricenter.
Members from Virginia to the
tip of the Florida Keys made a
stop in Perry to reminisce, catch
up with news about old friends,
make new friends, and, in general,
just enjoy everything the
Agricenter and Perry has to offer.
The Gilmores, who have trav
eled the highways and byways of
America, Canada and Mexico for
Square dance club hosts
fish fry for members
Ray and Janice Layson of
Kathleen, founders of the Perry
Square Dance Club, and other
members of the club, hosted their
first ever fish fry and square
dance at the Recreation Center at
J. Frank Rozar Park March 21.
More than 100 people from
Cordele, Macon, Forsyth,
Warwick, Warner Robins, Perry,
Byron, Centerville and Fort
Valley attended.
Allen Copeland and his father
of Perry, caught the fish. Allen’s
parents, Jim and Betty Copeland,
are taking square dance lessons
After the dinner, Billy
Lunsford, the youngest caller in
the area, called for the square
dance. The dancers ranged in age
from 3 to 73 there is no age
limit. Cecil Patterson of Cordele
celebrated his 73rd birthday the
day following after the dance.
Lunsford, his wife Amy, their
daughter, Kayla, his parents, his
brother and wife were all dancing
—a real family affair. Amy
Lunsford led the line dancing.
Billy Lunsford was reared in Fort
Valley but now lives in Macon.
He began calling in 4-H and has
been calling for the Perry Club 3'/2
years.
After the dance, a cake walk
was held.
Ten student dancers will grad
uate April 18 from the class
taught by Billy Lunsford. Classes
meet every other Tuesday and
Thursday. Graduation exercises
will be held at the Rozar Park
Recreation Center, followed by a
square dance.
For information about the
Perry Club activities or on
becoming a member, call Janice
or Ray Layson at 987-0466..

more than 20 years, agree that the
Agricenter is the best facility they
could find for such a meeting.
“We brought our grandchildren
to the first Fair here,” said Sara.
“Most facilities are old, but this
one is so nice and new.”
The former grade school teacher
said one thing she likes about trav
eling in an Airstream is the “fact
that it is so self-contained.”
Her husband pointed out that “We
could park in the middle of asphalt
and be OK Here, we have our water,
sewage, stove, refrigerator, batteries
and other things we need.”
It won’t be long before they are
back on the road again, traveling
here and there, planning for the
national meeting to be held in
Huntsville, Ala. in July.
And, while they are traveling
down the road, the Gilmores, like
other Airstream owners, are
always on the lookout for each
other.
“When we see another member
of our group, we know because
we see their number on their trail
er,” said Chesley. That is the cue
for whoever is not driving to begin
flipping through the pages of a
directory listing that will match
the number with a name.
When that is done, the two will,
most of the time begin communi
cation with their Citizens Band
radios, he said.

Free seminars highlight third annual
Beltista Club garden show April 5
By Jj JOHNSON
Times-Journal Editor
JpHl Anderson is excited. A
■ three-year resident of south-
I em Houston County,
' Anderson is preparing to
r thoughts and ideas on how to
throw a party with visitors to the third
annual Beltista Club Spring Home and
Garden show April 5.
Anderson will present a seminar enti
tled Entertaining Alfresco, one of six
free workshops planned by Charlotte
Bohanon, a Beltista Club member.
"The seminars are going to be worth
the price of admission to the show,”
Bohanon said. In fact, she said, many
club members are already vying for the
opportunity to slip from their hosting
roles to attend one or more of the semi
nars.
During her 30-45-minute program,
Anderson will share plans for two for
mal parties, one a bridesmaid luncheon,
the other a dinner party.
“I enjoy entertaining. My mother
entertained a lot and I watched and
learned from her,” Anderson, a Jackson,
Tenn., native, said.
Her involvement as a seminar leader
began several months ago when she
gave members of the Balvaunuca Club a
program about holiday entertaining.
Beltista club member Gail Brown was
in attendance, and when the time came
for Beltista Club members to plan their
annual spring show at the Georgia
National Fairgrounds and Agricenter,
Brown recommended Anderson.
Anderson said she will share ideas on
planning menus, preparing table set
tings, and will even offer anew, easy to
use mosquito repellent recipe.
She said she will discuss invitation

She’s even working on an idea to cre

of the parties.
“It’s still in the design stage, and I
have some things to work out,”
Anderson said.
