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.

Is it Over?

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!

They read it ...

In case you never hear from me again ... my co-workers read this. I repeat. MY CO-WORKERS READ THIS. Have read this! They may take violent action, and they're really terrifying people. Have you seen Megan? Scary, scary. 

Ahem. Moving on, before I seal my own fate ... Friday! The night kicks off with Bingo. Same time. Same place. That's followed by the Black Beard's Bay Adult night at 9. <-- the name should tell you where you need to be. Bring your own beverage and a snack to share. it's $10 entry if you don't have a season pass. Obviously, you must by 21 to drink. We have a DJ playing that night too!

Saturday starts with a kid's craft at 2 p.m. in the pavilion. I don't know what they're making. I'm not a kid. At 7 p.m. in the pavilion, the Sip & Paint starts. They're painting some pretty pictures (or not so pretty, depending on how much juice is consumed). This is also bring your own wine. There's no way we could afford to supply the beverages for all of you. Seriously, you all drink too much ... or maybe that's just me. 

Anywho ... 

Happy Camping!

Who Runs This Thing?

One would honestly think that with the way the world is internet starved these days, whoever ran the website would keep up. I know. I know. I always promise to keep everyone updated about everything, and once again, its been like two weeks. If you have a complaint about that, sorry. We don't have a complaint box, but Karen is here weekdays from 11-4 if you would like to vent! :) 

If only the workers actually read this ... You know what? I hope they don't. I'm going to be in so ... so much trouble. Pray for my soul. May I rest in peace. I'm not going to make it out of this alive. 

Ahem. Business as usual: Friday is the Family Game Night at 7:30. Bring your favorite board game, snacks, and a drink for some good 'ole fashioned FAMILY fun. Keep it clean, peeps. Unless someone brings Monopoly. Let's be real. Monopoly is the only board game in the history of the world that is known to ruin marriages, friendships, and families. Maybe we should leave that one out. 

Saturday morning is the 5K Walk for Your Health at 9. Meet in the front of the office for a nice leisurely stroll to no one knows where. You know what, you can probably even run those 5 miles if you're a super-duper ambitious person (who needs theraphy and a staight-jacket). It's for your health. Do it. That's followed by Bingo Saturday night. 

PSA: I believe that I have the internet issue resolved for good. If you think the internet isn't working at your campsite, please let ME know. I know how to fix it, or see if something more serious is wrong. Just tell me I'm a genius once I fix it. I thrive on compliments. And tacos. On second thought, just bring me tacos. 

Happy Camping!
