North Landing Beach Rally Schedule of Events – August 5-8, 2021
Notes: As is usual at Dogwood rallies, please bring your own drinks and utensils to all gatherings unless notified otherwise. Thank you.
We intentionally did not plan any Dogwood specific activities for Friday and Saturday afternoon because the campground has many planned activities for that weekend, and there are also interesting things to do in the area. Campground activities include crafts, beach games, super soaker wagon ride, and most interestingly, a pie eating contest and Karaoke. So bring a big appetite and your best voice. How about a performance by the renowned Dogwood Choir (LOL). There are also interesting things to visit in the local area to include the Military Aviation Museum, Virginia Beach, Knotts Island, a ferry ride, Cape Henry Lighthouse and more. For more and specific information on campground activities and things to do, go to northlandingbeach.com and click on Activities or Area Attractions or see additional information below for local restaurants and activities.
Thursday, Aug 5 – 5:00 P.M. – Social hour and Heavy Hors D’oeuvres in Rally Room. This will basically be our meal, so please bring a dish to share.
