Sooner Schooners
Local Chapter
By Reatha Hill

September First Outing: The OK Sooner Schooners met at Cedar Valley RV in Guthrie, OK for their September Outing. Fifteen rigs were in attendance. Derrill and Mary Ann Turley, John and Mary Sill, and Jerry and Wanda Standridge hosted the weekend outing.

The park is surrounded by golf courses, so Saturday morning the group participated in a Par 3 golf tournament. Since many of the members are not golfers, it was an interesting tournament. However, thanks to Jasper Biddy's hole in one, Jerry Standridge, Wanda Standridge, Troy Messer, Reatha Hill, and Jasper won first place. Derrill Turley won closest to the pin on hole one and nine. Ron Hadwiger and Denise Harris won the afternoon Rattlesnake golf tournament.

Saturday Nathan Hill, C. W. Harris, and Delbert and Thelma Osborn journeyed to OU for the football game while the rest of the group enjoyed a catered meal at the clubhouse.

Following the Sunday breakfast and devotional, the Hills, Turleys, and Alice Combs left for Branson on their way to join the Green Country Winnies at Cotter, AR. Joe and Sue Wall and Chuck and Jean Wilson joined the group later at Cotter.

September Second Outing: Twenty-nine members of the OK Schooner RV Chapter gathered at McClain's RV in Oklahoma City, Sept. 25-26, for the annual Show and Tell.

Four couples brought their rigs to show off to prospective Winnebago buyers who visited the dealer over the weekend. Our members prepared and served lunch to more than 150 people during the two-day event. Paul and Sherelle Bowerman, new Winnebago owners, joined our chapter Friday.

Reatha Hill, club President, gave a brief history of McClain's RV. She then introduced Todd McClain who welcomed the group. Technician, John Van Hautn, presented a seminar on installation of the converter box to receive local HDTV.

Saturday Diane Pilgrim of McClain's, held a drawing for door prizes. Members of the Sooner Schooners were also presented with Camping World gift cards from McClain's.
