Chili! Chili! Chili! Chili!! If you haven't figured it out, I freaking LOVE chili!! Spicy chili, reheated chili, hot chili, cold chili, vegetarian chili. If it's chili, I'll eat it. There's a strong chance I'll regret it later, but I'm still gonna eat it! Did you know that in many areas, it is highly debated on whether or not beans (and sometimes tomatoes) should be in a "true" chili recipe?! Silly, huh? But think about it. Chili con carne (the actual name for chili). Chili - this refers to the awesomely, delicious chili pepper. Obviously, these peppers belong. Con Carne - in English, that translates to "with meat." So, that leaves Chili peppers with meat. If whatever the delicious bean, meat, tomato and spice stew I have been eating my whole life is not, in fact, "chili", and I have been lied to for twenty-four years, I'll take the lie. Chili is chili. Argue with me. I dare you. :) So if you happen to be a chili fanatic like myself, and you want to put yourself up against some of the best chili at Hickory Acres Campground, then bring your rendition of chili for all to the pavilion, Saturday at 5:30 for the potluck! If not, bring a passing dish and sit around to sample everyone else's chili!! Bingo follows at 7:30 for those of you that are worried that we forgot about it! Now, bring on that good weather!!!!!

Who's tired of me changing things up?! I'm not. I love making new improvements to this website.
I wanted a way for all of you to be able to ask questions about the site and the events easily. So here you go! The News & Events page is now a blog!! This will allow for everyone to give their feedback, ask questions, and make comments about whatever is happening here at Hickory Acres Campground. Do not be discouraged if your comment does not show up right away! I have made the comment settings for "Approve first". I do NOT want any language or negativity!! I'm a happy person. Let's try to keep me that way. Who's missed me??? Everyone?! That's what I thought. I am quite the missable person. Now, now, I know the weekends seem like lazy days as of late, but buck up! Karaoke is right around the corner. Friday night is Bingo (same time, same place), and Saturday is karaoke @ 7:00. Do NOT be late!!
Down to business: I'm working as hard as I can to get everyone moved around as quickly as possible. I do not want to have to deal with what we did last spring!! It was so stinking wet that no one could even get on their lots. Myself and the office's Keurig Mini give all of you our word that we are doing our best to avoid a situation like that again. Scout's honor (not that I have any). But, even though I'm a caffeinated mess in this office does not mean that I have made it to the waiting list just yet. I want to make sure that I can move around everyone in the campground that would like to move to one of the open lots. The waiting list can wait. There is a strict seniority rule that I follow to fill sites. I promise, I'm working on it! Have some patience with me, and I can only promise to do my job! To whoever ordered this absolutely perfect weather, I thank you. I'll slip ya some ice cream later. Let me forewarn all of those who were enjoying their weekends without me..... I'll be here this weekend. Just for my enjoyment, I'm not going to let you know when you can see my beautiful face grace the office!! How do you like them apples?! I'll give you a hint. It won't be Saturday evening.... I feel like a broken record, but seasonal deposits were due Monday September 15, 2014. If you have not stopped in to pay your seasonal deposit for 2015, you need to do so immediately. I'm trying to get rolling on moving everyone around and getting a head start on the waiting list. So please, if you plan on staying in this campground, pay your deposit. It makes my job A LOT easier!!!
Anyone care to take a guess about the activities for this weekend? I do! I do!! Bingo, Saturday 7:30 p.m. Any questions? I didn't think so. All other entertainment is up to you all. I wish I could keep up the shenanigans on here, but this is a busy week!! So all you kiddos out there have a wonderful week, but most importantly, have a happy, fun and safe weekend!! People, people, people.... Summer is not even officially over, and I'm starting to hear a lot of you all talking about snow. Stop it!! If you come into this office and so much as THINK about now, I will throw something at you. You have been warned.
Now, last weekend turned out wonderfully. Shain & Kate had a beautiful wedding (couldn't have asked for a better day), and mostly everything went off without a hitch. All that aside, the happy couple is happily married and off on their honeymoon to start their new path. We all wish them the best of luck, and we wish them a healthy and happy life!! If you'd like to check out some of the photos from the wedding (these are unprofessionally done by me and my phone), click over to our Gallery! Back to business, this Saturday is a big day. It's our annual Keep Fish day! All fish must be regulation size. Stop in the office to find out what that is!!! Also, at 5:30 is our potluck for Sept/Nov Birthdays, and 7:30 is Bingo. Also, on a random day this week, I will be doing another free ice cream drawing. This means 1 thing: LIKE US ON FACEBOOK!!!!! Lastly, we have switched back to our Fall Hours. Stop by our information page to see what that's all about! And a good week to you... and you... and you. Da-Da-DaDaaaaaaa!!!! Ever wondered what it would be like to have a wedding at Hickory Acres Campground. Well, after Saturday, ask Shain & Kate! The ever anticipated wedding has finally arrived, and let me tell you, relief is on the way!! If you'd like to celebrate with us, the reception is being held at 5:00 p.m. in the pavilion. (If it rains, we will be moving the ceremony in here as well!) During the ceremony, Lisa will be the lonely person in the office. She will have me on stand by, but I'm attending the wedding (Shain is my cousin). So PLEASE!!!!!!! Be respectful. I hope that everyone has respect to honor Kate's special day. (If not, I'm going to sick Bridezilla on all of you!) Now, I have come to realize that some of you are not sure who I am, or who Kate is. I am NOT Kate. And Dear Lord, I am NOT marrying my cousin. Kate is shorter, smaller, dark haired and glasses wearing. I am none of those. On top of that, I am very loud. Kate is very quiet. Do we have a clear distinction?! If not, stop in, and I'll clear it all up for you! On a not so serious note, WEDDING!!!! Cherie will be in a dress. Chris will be in a tuxedo (<--- can't wait!). Shain will be in a tuxedo. Kate will be in a b-e-a-utiful gown!! And me, you ask?! I will be in a dress. For all of you, this will probably be the last time, in your lifetime, that you will be seeing any of us looking this darn sharp. We are all very excited to be finally getting to this wedding! And we hope you are too!! Come enjoy Saturday, September 6 at 5:00 p.m. in the pavilion!!!
