2025 Rallies and Events

SPRING RALLY

Prairie's Edge Casino & Resort

Host: Rodney & Brenda Gens

Date: June 12th - 15th, 2025

Location: 5616 Prairies Edge Ln, Granite Falls, MN 56241

As rally hosts, Rodney & I want to thank each and every one of you for taking time out of your busy lives to attend our rally! What fun it is to share smiles, hugs and to spend time with each other. Every one of you is a vital part of our GMC family! We had 16 GMC's with 27 members and 6 guests throughout our weekend together. 

One thing about the weather we had during our time together-like all true Midwesterners-it gave us something to talk about! Cold, rain for three of our four days, wind, cold, mud, rain and yes, it was not very good campfire weather though a few hardy souls gave it a shot. But there were positive conversations going on too. We were at a wonderful campground with cement pads, blacktopped roads, a semi-enclosed shelter to gather in and we had clean, hot showers available. Our grandson Weston sure enjoyed the indoor pool at the motel in our cold, wet weather. We didn't have to battle mosquitos or flies. We didn't get sunburned. We had a chance to wear those heavy coats we always pack in our GMCs but never get to use. We had a great tour at the Fagen Fighter's WWII museum with 29 attending.

We shared good food and conversations. We had a new to the club member, Betsy in her 23' GMC, join us for the first time. We actually had three 23' there! So, in the end, we left each other still smiling and glad we got to be together and looking forward to our next rally!

Fall Rally

Hosts: Club Officers
When: September 2nd - September 7th, 2025
Where: Timber Ridge Resort in Traverse City, MI

We had 6 Greater Midwest GMC coaches (Miller, Weidner, Roche, Gens, Wilkie, and Anderson) make the journey over the UP, crossing the Mackinac Bridge to attend the GMCMI Fall Rally in Traverse City. Along the way, many of us spent a night at Lester Duncan’s, where he graciously provided extension cords, food, and great hospitality. Thank you, Lester, for your generosity! There were 60+ coaches in attendance. It rained a bit every day (some days more), but we still had fun with tech sessions, hot wheels racing, a hot dog show, karaoke, 8-Track Players band, and more. For the 1st time in a long time Cinnabar was a sponsor of the rally, and our next GMCMI President, Patricia Schenk, was voted in. Thank you Lucy for all the great work you have done moving the GMCMI into its next era over the past 3 years!
