2 Pre-Rally Agenda June 6-12, 2017 Pre-Rally time is a special time for rally attendees. It s a more relaxed time and there are fewer scheduled activities than rally week. We encourage attendees to use their Pre-Rally time to explore the area on their own, to visit with their Heartland friends and to take in a Pre-Rally tour or activity. Every day can be your personal On Your Own day. If you do join us for the Pre-Rally, you don t have to commit to all seven Pre-Rally days. You may choose the Pre-Rally arrival date that works best for you. Elkhart County Area Points of Interest There are many things to see and do in the Elkhart County area.
