Silver Palms RV Village is located less than ¼ of a mile from Lake Okeechobee, the 2nd largest freshwater lake in the United States.

Silver Palms has everything amenity imaginable, including a fully equipped fitness center, a billiards room, and a private, Members-only lounge.

The show will introduce all-new Avanti (which means "forward" in Italian) from Damon Motor Coach (Booth 513), the first motor home to be built on the W16D front-engine diesel platform from Workhorse Custom Chassis. The W16D is a 16,000 lb. GVWR diesel powered platform that is both lower and narrower than traditional class A motor home chassis, enabling lower, sleeker motor home body designs. The initial Avanti model is 31 ½ feet long and designed to be a more fuel efficient and easier-to-drive Class A motor home. Combining a sleek, low-to-the-ground, aerodynamic design with the re-engineered Workhorse chassis, the Avanti is expected to achieve up to 70 percent better fuel economy than comparable Class A motor homes, based on internal test results. In addition, Vice President of Avanti Sales Matt Thompson describes the Avanti's drivability as "awesome." The Avanti's coach is nearly 12 inches closer to the ground than any other Class A motor home and is six inches narrower. The low center of gravity, combined with the excellent ride and handling of the Workhorse chassis, gives it "an automotive feel," said Thompson. "I think people will find it fun to drive. Certainly not like any other Class A." The RV-enhanced W16D chassis marks the latest in a series of chassis firsts from Workhorse that have multiplied motor home choices for consumers over the past decade. It will be on display at Workhorse Booth G by the GIANT Center along with the 2009 Chevy Workhorse Class C platform with best-in-class towing capacity. The W16D also marks the first appearance of the MaxxForce™ 5 V6 diesel engine from Navistar International Corporation (NYSE: NAV) in a motor home. The MaxxForce 5 is mated to an Allison 1000 Series transmission and produces 200 horsepower and 440 ft.-lbs. of torque. Other key W16D features that enhance the drivability and manageability of the motor home include high-performance Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes, 50-degree wheel cut and electronic instrument cluster with full instrumentation and information center. Leading edge technology makes the MaxxForce 5 a "clean diesel" engine that improves both emission levels and fuel efficiency. That and the relatively light weight of the Workhorse chassis both contribute to the Avanti's fuel economy and payload capacity. That capacity means the Avanti can put diesel class storage and amenities into a smaller motor home, enabling owners of larger motor homes to conveniently downsize. Thompson calls the storage space on the Avanti "phenomenal." ''Our 31 1/2-foot model has as much storage than a comparable 37-foot coach,'' he said. ''We worked hard to utilize every square inch.'' A walk-around queen bed, split bath layout, large screen TV and curvaceous nautical interior styling are some of the diesel-class luxury and amenities packed in the coach, making it "a great choice for both a first-time...

Gibson's years spent gaming served as an inspiration for her novels, including her newest book "Quondam" (Synergy Books, May 2008, ISBN 978-1-933538-83-9, $14.95). "Gaming has enormous potential as a teaching tool," says Gibson, an elementary school teacher for over 15 years with two Teacher of the Year awards for her use of technology in the classroom. "Too many people have labeled video games as a negative influence, but as a member of the gaming community and teacher, I have seen video games used to teach as they entertain." Gibson says learning does not just come from the video games designed specifically for education, some of the most effective teaching video-game genres are management, role-playing and strategy. These types of games offer opportunities to develop new learning strategies, problem solving and real-life skills with built-in skill leveling. Aware of the ongoing debate concerning video games and education, Gibson incorporates her own gaming experiences in the fourth installment of her "Ancient Mirrors" series. Continuing to weave elements from her gaming experience, "Quondam" follows Cwen of Aaradan, who falls through a mysterious portal into Quondam and must battle to unseat the evil wood nymph queen. "Quondam" received the 2008 National Indie Excellence Award in the fantasy and sci-fi category. Gibson is an accomplished author who often appears at conferences, including Wordstock and the South Coast Writers Conference. A regular guest on KGBR-FM, she has been featured in FortWorth Child, Fayetteville Observer and Grandparents.com. She currently lives in Port Orford, Ore., with her husband, a pet cockatoo and five sugar gliders -- a small type of marsupial.

Gibson says learning does not just come from the video games designed specifically for education, some of the most effective teaching video-game genres are management, role-playing and strategy. These types of games offer opportunities to develop new learning strategies, problem solving and real-life skills with built-in skill leveling. Aware of the ongoing debate concerning video games and education, Gibson incorporates her own gaming experiences in the fourth installment of her "Ancient Mirrors" series. Continuing to weave elements from her gaming experience, "Quondam" follows Cwen of Aaradan, who falls through a mysterious portal into Quondam and must battle to unseat the evil wood nymph queen. "Quondam" received the 2008 National Indie Excellence Award in the fantasy and sci-fi category. Gibson is an accomplished author who often appears at conferences, including Wordstock and the South Coast Writers Conference. A regular guest on KGBR-FM, she has been featured in FortWorth Child, Fayetteville Observer and Grandparents.com. She currently lives in Port Orford, Ore., with her husband, a pet cockatoo and five sugar gliders -- a small type of marsupial.

"He would sit in his home at this huge picture window and watch the deer. And one of his wishes was to go deer hunting," recalled Error. So Mike Error and his close friend, the teenager's uncle, decided to take the youth hunting. After struggling to get the teenager and his wheelchair to a suitable hunting site, they quickly discovered the youth had too little strength in his arms to hold a rifle. "They tried several methods and none of them worked," Renee Error explained. "And that's what got us thinking." A search of the Internet revealed lots of small businesses, and some not so small, manufacturing adaptive gear - some of it better than others. But one thing missing altogether, she said, was a place to go "one-stop shopping." "After talking and thinking about this, we decided that this was a business perfect for us." It fit well with her husband's love of hunting and fishing, and the outdoors, she said. And for her, a stay-at-home Mom for many years, and an avid school and community volunteer, it was an ideal way of helping others. The couple did a trial launch of their Web site to test the waters and the results were gratifying for them, as well as for those who bought products from them. Renee Error has heard from people as far away as Georgia and Texas, including a right-arm amputee who gave up fishing until he learned of the Web site and purchased an adaptive harness that allows him to fish again.

Ford Ironman Arizona has become extremely popular with nearly 2,000 athletes competing each year. It is anticipated to generate more than $4.5 million in economic impact for Tempe as both athletes and their friends and families travel to Tempe to provide support and encouragement for their favorite competitor. With the swim course in Tempe Town Lake, the adjacent Tempe Beach Park and the Mill Avenue bridges provide perfect views of the swim. The transitions to the bike course and marathon course take place at Tempe Beach Park. Because both of these courses are loops, there are many opportunities to see the athletes along the roadways and throughout Tempe Beach Park. The Ford Ironman Arizona Athlete Village will be set up in the park prior to and during the event. It features sponsor and merchandise booths and provides a gathering place for athletes and spectators to enjoy Tempe entertainment. With 330 days of sunshine annually, an enviable climate, the lake and parks, Tempe is a natural fit for this event. A variety of Tempe entertainment, activities for athletes and spectators means a great time before and after the big event. The Mill Avenue District, with more than 100 restaurants, shops and cafes, is located just south of the Ford Ironman Arizona festivities. Nearby parks and mountain preserves provide easy access to outdoor recreation in the scenic Sonoran desert, such as hiking, biking or picnicking. And, Tempe entertainment centers such as Arizona Mills and Tempe Ma
