Register Now For Our Fourth Annual

Western Gypsy Gathering Rally

Sponsored By The Gypsy Journal RV Travel Newspaper.

 

March 8-12, 2010

Yuma County Fairgrounds

Yuma , Arizona

 

Everyone loves our Annual Western Gypsy Gatherings,

so we're doing it again, but bigger and better, and in a new location!  

More seminars, more vendors, craft classes, the same camaraderie you enjoyed

so much, door prizes, and did we mention fun?  

Our tentative seminar schedule is listed below.

This schedule is subject to changes

as more seminars are confirmed.

Cost of this great rally will be just $110, which includes four nights of parking

with water and electric hookups (dump station on fairgrounds), and admission to all rally events.

 

Limited number of outdoor vendor spaces available - $150 *

Includes all rally fees, parking, and vendor space. Each vendor will be part of our vendor showcase

(an opportunity to tell rally attendees about your product or service). 

*Vendors, please note that we are limiting vendor registrations to one vendor for any type of product or service to

eliminate duplication. Please e-mail us at editor@gypsyjournal.net with details on what you will be selling before registering.

Because we do not accept more than one vendor for a product or service, vendor cancellations earlier than 30 days before

the rally are entitled to a 50% refund. Within the last 30 days there will be no refund. 

 

Regular early bird arrivals welcome as of February 8th at $13/night.

To register, send check to Gypsy Journal, 1400 Colorado St. #C-16, Boulder City, Nevada 89005,
