Spearfish Newell Friends Rally Gathering June 2013
I was asked to post this announcement about a Spearfish, South Dakota Rally being held June 22-28 at Elkhorn Ridge RV Resort. They are hoping for 20 plus Newells and of course other coaches are welcome.
Speak to Michelle and mention you are inquiring about the Rally Gathering of Newell Owners and she can help you with reservation and rate information.

From my understanding they are thinking of limiting it out at about 15 coaches, so I guess I'm out.
Guys, there was never a limit on coaches. I don't know where that came from. We have over 30 coaches here. Thankfully many just called and got a site and came. I didn't see the earliest posts on this thread until today, otherwise I would have responded sooner. For those of you who didn't try to come because they thought there was a limit I apologize for not correcting the misunderstanding sooner.
Those who are here are having a great time. Last night Michael Day (fulltiming) gave us a slide show on the history of Newell, the contents of which were reviewed by several at Newell including Karl Blade prior to presentation. This morning Richard Entrekin (Richard and Rhonda) held two discussions...the first on A/C, and the second on air suspension. This went on for the better part of 4 hours. Tonight we are doing coach tours of half the coaches here who wanted their coaches open to tours. Tomorrow night we will do the other half.
Newell had a show coach at the FMCA rally in Gillette, and they stopped off here in Spearfish overnight so those here could tour the 2010 Newell. Here are some pictures.
Tomorrow John Clark from Newell will hold a discussion on Newell maintenance, and Wednesday we have a couple of guys who represent Aqua Hot holding a discussion on use and maintenance of same. Weather is great with some showers occasionally, but mostly sunny.
I don't have any additional information except for what was PM to me by another member and I was never told there would be a coach limit. If this is the case then I will remove this thread altogether unless I hear otherwise.

I agree Brady, if it wasn't for a possible limit and being in June I would have considered attending. I will be in the same area in July for a wedding if anyone else is going to be there then.

Thank you Ken for putting up the information.......it's not too impromptu Clint.....it's been in the works for about 9 months now. Just confirmed the 26th coach today. A Newell factory representative, John Clark, will be there in a late model Newell coach. Great chance to meet up with other Newell owners and make some new friends.
Hello All! This is my first post on this forum, although I have been following it for some time. My wife and I are heading to Gillette, WY for the SKPs Escapade at the end of this month. We are interested in attending the "mini rally" in Spearfish, but when I called Elkhorn Ridge they had no idea what I was talking about. Maybe I need to contact someone else? Is there a specific contact person? Thanks for your help. We are looking forward to meeting fellow "newellies". note: that was my wife's term!!

I just talked to Elkhorn and there are spaces available and if you call now the lady I talked to will sign you right up. She knew immediately of the Newells coming along with the dates (June 22 to 29). She said she would love to add you all to the folks attending.
Jerry & Barb, I am also planning to attend the Escapee rally. I am reserved in the 50 amp, full service, area. Perhaps our paths will cross there. I have three weeks of rallies: FMCA, Spearfish, and then back to Gillette for the Escapees.

For what it's worth, if no spaces at Elkhorn Ridge, we have stayed at Chris' Campground in Spearfish the last couple of years. Not as fancy as Elkhorn, but very nice folks there also.
