Those March winds are blowing the season in faster than ever! Only 31 days until April 15...Opening Day! But the office will open the week before with limited hours on April 8-14. Beginning of the year letters, statements, & activity schedules went out in the mail to seasonal campers yesterday! Be on the lookout for them! I would love for someone who knows more about Horseshoes than I to volunteer to take charge of the Horseshoe tournaments. There's only 3 of them this year, so it wouldn't involve a lot of time commitment. Just come see me if you'd like to do that! Your beginning of the year letter explains some of the new things happening this year. Exciting!!! We'll be seeing you real soon campers! Happy St. Patrick's Day & Happy Spring!!!

Hello! It's already February! Time slow down!! Only 72 days, 23 hours, 3 min, and 21 second, 20 seconds, 19 seconds.... until opening day, April 15! That's coming quickly! I'm sure not quick enough for some! Enjoy the winter activities while they last! Happy Groundhog Day!!
We are fast approaching the day that jolly ole elf comes calling! Hope you are all ready! I'm not sure I am yet! We are willing to meet you at the office if you'd like to purchase any gift certificates for gifts, campground and/or waterpark ones. It sure would put me more in the spirit of the season if some of that white stuff showed up! Just a little! Well, anyway...
Merry Christmas!! Hello! Yes, we have closed for the season. I will not be in the office as much now. There are no set hours over the winter. I will go in a few times a week to check the answering machine & do paperwork. If you leave a message I will get back with you, but it would be helpful if you'd also let me know when you'd be available for me to return your call. Tag is fun, but not so sure about phone tag. ;) We hope everyone has a great winter & we see some of that white stuff again! (But lets wait until the farmers have their crops off!)
Here is our schedule for our last weekend:
Oct. 26 7:30 Bingo 8:45 Flashlight Pumpkin Hunt (bring flashlight) Oct. 27 9:00 Breakfast Potluck (sign up is in office) 11:00 Pumpkin Carving 12:30 Pinatas 2-? Haunted House in the south end of Pavilion (THANK YOU to the volunteers!!!) 6:00 Trick or Treat 7:00 Hay Rides Southern Belle BBQ Food Truck will be here sometime in the afternoon, on Saturday, if you'd like to buy a quick, delicious easy meal! Yummy!! Oct. 8....Columbus Day....In 1492, he sailed the ocean blue! Hope your Columbus Day is going great! I see some kiddos got the day off due to fog. That probably helped make your Columbus Day even better!
The sign up sheet for the final breakfast is available in the office. The breakfast is on our final weekend of the year, Oct. 27. Come, enjoy, & say our farewells for the winter. Sob! Sob! (Secretly I'm looking forward to the white stuff!) This coming weekend, Oct. 13, is the Euchre Tournament at 2:00 & Bingo at 7:30. Looks like a cooler weekend, but no rain. Unless they change the forecast before then, which they're very likely to do! But, we're hopeful that the rain stays out of it! For the following weekend, Oct. 20, for the Adult Bonfire Potluck, followed by the Adult Murder Mystery party, feel free to come in costumes! Well, it's October already! Time to get out the pumpkins & make all those yummy pumpkin recipes!
This coming weekend's schedule has a new addition! There's a Cornhole Tournament at 3:00 on Saturday, Oct. 6! Just show up to play! It's $5/person. Eric Arnold & Doug Schwab will be organizing it for you! Sounds like a great time! There's a Kid's Movie Friday night (Oct. 5) at 7 p.m. and the adult movie Saturday (Oct. 6) at 9 p.m. If it rains, it'll be inside the pavilion. And, of course, there's Bingo Saturday (Oct. 6) at 7:30! We are still in need of characters for the Adult Murder Mystery on Oct. 20. The sign up is in the Office. Angie Zimmerman is leading it this year & she's getting ready to hand out parts! It's called "Vintage Murder". Sounds like wine may be involved! Hope to see you there! Fall begins this Saturday, Sept. 22 & with it maybe the cooler weather! This Friday night (Sept. 21) will be Stick Horse Races at 7:30. Bring your quarters! Saturday (Sept. 22) is Bingo at 7:30. A couple of schedule additions are:
Sept. 28 is Big Al's Karaoke from 7-11. Oct. 6 is a Cornhole Tournament starting at 3:00 It's $5/person. A couple of campers will be in charge of that--thank you to them! Our haunted house has the volunteers it needs. Thank you to all of those who are helping with that! It's going to be great! We do need a few more characters for the murder mystery party on Oct. 20 at 7:30. The sign up is in the office. Happy Fall Y'all!! Wow! Was that a fast summer or what?!?!! Many schools have started & many more are just around the corner due to start! Watch out for those kiddos & buses out there!
Boy, are we going to miss Amanda! We wish her the very best in what life has in store for her! But, we hope she'll stop in to visit now & again! And now, you'll be seeing more of me (and my grandkiddos!) in the office! Stop in & say hi! Seasonal Deposits are due Sept. 15....just a reminder! Volunteers are needed to do the haunted house the last weekend in October. Stop in the office if you'd like to add your name to that list. July is like the weird middle point of camping, like a campgrounds version of Hump Day. It's about to get so hot that having a black car interior should be illegal, right along with metal seat belt clips. <-- That's my PSA for the next week. Have you looked at the weather?! Hot! Hot! Hot! Just like me ...
Moving on! Did you know it's our 4th of July celebration this weekend? No? Well then, listen up because I'm about to list EVERYTHING! Friday June 29 Bingo (if I have to list the time here, go home) Saturday June 30 2 Egg Toss ($1/person) 3 Fire Trucks Dry Hydrant 6 Hog Roast Pot Luck (Bring a passing dish) 7 Farmer Fire Dept Ice Cream (Free will donation) **A quick note about the Farmer Fire Department: They do so much here. The Easter Egg hunt is put on by them. Whenever there is a threat of bad weather, they call us personally to warn us. They spray you with water from the dry hydrant. Seriously, these men (and women?) help keep everything here safe and sound. And let's be real for a second, a man in uniform just has that something ... ice cream; they have good looking ice cream. PLEASE donate to their homemade ice cream to show your thanks and support for everything they do! We like them. Sunday July 1 1-5 Inflatable Bouncers 2 Parade (Decorate them carts!) 7:30 Bingo Tuesday July 3 8-10 Pete Schlegel (this is nighttime, folks) 10:30 Fireworks (also nighttime) If you're interested, there is a free will donation box in the office. This is so they can afford to pay me ... ahem, I mean, for the fireworks. There is also a black mailbox along the drive for the same thing. My second PSA of the day: This weekend is going to be packed with people and munchkins all around the place. Please drive slow. 5 mph is the speed limit, and I can't stress this enough. Children dart, and sometimes, adults don't look. Please drive slow! Happy Camping! |
