Eastern's Christmas Rally
December 6, 2008

The NVATVC made an appearance at Eastern's Christmas Poker Run.
Theo "The Prez" Janssen, Kenny "The Sheriff" Froats, Elizabeth Winter, Robert "Stash" Durant, Buddy-Guy, Brentley "Dolton" Summers, Steve "Papa Dolton" Summers and Dave "Santa" Baker, hitched up the reindeer and headed to Bourget. Tim & Steve Backes met up with our convoy, and Greg & Sara Oglivie our biggest fans met us in Bourget. Thanks to Ron Blanchard for having the coffee and donuts for us at our departure point.

Santa was on hand for this rally. He loaded up his sleigh and trailer with fourwheelers and took all his elves to the rally.

His sleigh in this case is referred to as a "bus" and there weren't any reindeer pulling it, and like Santa's real sleigh, there was only one red light on it, however it got us there.
Santa switched to his power sled, it too is not powered by reindeer, but it is red.
Kenny "The Sheriff" Froats was poised and ready to go, but one of the elves forgot his boots and had to try and find some.

The trails were pretty slick and there were a couple of hills that had to be negotiated with care, but all went well.
Theo "The Prez" Janssen poised for a photo-op with Santa. He's a child at heart.
The trail-side lunch was served at Eastern's Challet/Clubhouse; a good spread of all the tube-steaks you could handle.
After lunch, we poised at the top of one of the steep hills ensuring everyone made it to the top.
We stopped in the middle of the LaRose forest -- Elizabeth was not impressed.
Back at the starting point, Kenny pulled his poker hand -- he should have known when to fold.
Santa anxiously awaits his dinner, but still takes time to wave to the kids.
Lo and behold NVATVC's very own Dave "Santa" Baker takes the prize of best dressed. Hooray.
Elizabeth tells Santa what she wants for Christmas.
NVATVC made out like bandits, everyone won a prize of some kind, or in Greg Oglive's case, six or seven. Well almost everyone... Kenny won nothing -- he claims it was rigged, so I'm not sure if this look of distain is from A) getting his picture taken B) not winning any prizes or C) Elizabeth is sitting on Santa's knee...
