Well... Hello there.

 The keeper of the site....is Cherie Kimpel.  If you really, really need something, you can probably ask me. If I don't know, I'll find out!  This blog is where I will do my best to keep everyone updated on what's going on, but sometimes, work gets in the way.

Holy Summer!

It's the 4th of July weekend celebration. Already. I feel as though things are moving a bit too quickly for me to handle. The biggest weekend that this campground has to offer has arrived!! Be ready. 

Below, I have posted the even schedule for this weekend. I can't promise I didn't make any mistakes. We all know I'm not perfect ... I mean, I'm close, but not totally. 

Friday, June 30
7:30 Bingo

Saturday, July 1
2:00 Egg Toss $1 (Winners split $$)
3:00 Fire Truck at Dry Hydrant
6:00 Hog Roast Potluck
7:00 Farmer Fire Department Homemade Ice Cream - Free Will Donation
8:00 Cadillac Ranch Band

Sunday, July 2
1:00-5:00 Inflatable Bouncers
2:00 Parade
7:30 Bingo

Monday, July 3
7:30 Pete Schlegel
10:30 Fireworks

Now! A note on the free will donation for the Farmer Fire Department. Does anyone remember last year when we had some bad storms come through, but our siren wasn't going? I do. Thanks to the Farmer Fire Department, we were informed of the dangerous weather, and myself and the rest of the crew were able to inform everyone of the situation. Even when the siren is going, we will still get a call about the bad weather in the area. Not only that, they handle the Easter Egg Hunt. Everything (but the bikes) is bought and planned by them. So please, donate! They are amazing men (and maybe women?) who make sure this campground is safe! 

Yuck! That was sentimental. Back to me! Remember, there will be children EVERYWHERE! You do not want to be the person to ruin the weekend because you couldn't drive the 5 mph. It's a rule. You signed the contract stating you would follow that rule. Please do so! 

Happy camping!! Drink one for me!

Do Your Job...

Because, ahem, someone didn't last week. Who, me?! You guessed right. I didn't do the blog! I really can't tell you if I just had a lack of inspiration or if I just forgot entirely. I'm going with option two. Oops! 

Business: Saturday is workout packed! 9 is water aerobics at the water park for $5.00. Seriously, you need to go. Lisa does an awesome work out. 10 is free will donation Zumba in the pavilion (These ladies will make you work. Please donate to them doing the session! They are awesome and are doing this out of the goodness of their hearts!). Then, Saturday ends with Bingo. There's no reason to sit around Saturday morning. Get your sweat on... and then shower. Please. Then stop out to the water park to cool down. 

This weekend is supposed to be gorgeous, if you ignore the 70% chance of rain on Friday. I'm just pretending that the weatherman doesn't know what he's talking about. Let be real, he usually doesn't. However, this forecast is coming from my WeatherBug app on my phone, and I'm not really sure who compiles that information. I'm still blaming the weatherman. Someone has to have broad shoulders. 

Happy Camping!

Should Have Been There...

The start of this year marked my 10th year working for Hickory Acres Campground. You would know this if you had come to my party! Losers. 

Kidding! It was a word-of-mouth surprise party, and I was remarkably impressed that no one spilled directly to me. Clap, clap everyone. There was a lot of laughter and some really inappropriate poems about my love life, but I wouldn't have asked for it any different. P.S. Jon and Chris Mack aren't friends any more. :) It's really you campers that make my job because honestly, without all of you making me laugh and smile every day, I probably would have murdered my uncle by now! Or at least caused bodily harm. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for Saturday night. 

Ahem. That was ridiculously sappy, and it slightly ruined my vibe. All that nicey nice gives me the creepy crawlies. Business! Tomorrow be at the water park at 9 or 10 in the morning to get a darn good work out from Lisa. She's brutal. It's $5 per person to attend, but it's worth it (and cheaper than a gym membership). Friday is the first Teen Night. Last year the ladies far outweighed the gentlemen. So this time gentleboys, come check out the girls, for only $10! Saturday is Bingo.

It is supposed to be another gorgeous weekend! My house broke down (Jon is a whiny little girl) and turned on the A/C. My rule is no sooner than June 1st for that pesky, frigid air. I'm hoping we'll have a weather repeat from last weekend!

Happy Camping!
