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.

miss me yet?

Let's be honest here people; it hasn't really been that long. 3 months. 3 very, very cold months. There is a possibility that I have frost bite on my hind end.

Too much? You'll get over it. No one took me to Florida with them. Again. No good people. Leaving me here to freeze to death. I'll discuss these transgressions with all of you in the spring while you're thawing me out with blow dryers.

Okay! Enough with the shenanigans. The business is that there is no business! I'm still in the office sporadically, and when I'm not in the office, some have found a way to get a hold of me. Yes, it is true that the water park is in construction! There are photos that have been put up on Facebook, and hopefully I will get some on this site soon for all of you to see.

Well, that's all she wrote folks.


Just kidding! You honestly thought I was done rambling?! Not on your life. It's what I do best.

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals, and a Happy New Year too!

hello weekend!!!

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....

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.

Anyone miss me?... NO?! I didn't think so. No one is reading my lovely site!! Meanies. I still have yet to hear from anyone about my genius and beautiful site!!!!! So... I have decided to make this a game. Why?! Because I honestly have nothing better to do. Here is the game: The first 3 people to come into the office Saturday August 23, 2014 between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m., and make a valuable suggestion about my website will get 1 free small ice cream cone (flavor of your choosing). FURTHERMORE (big word, proud of myself), it would be beneficial for you to like our Facebook page that Cherie spends a lot of time updating!!! I'm going to be picking, at random, a winner for 1 LARGE ice cream (flavor of your choosing). This will all be happening Saturday while I'm at work!

And if no one comes in to comment on my website, I'll just eat all the ice cream! Now, for the news...

Bingo! Friday night, 7:30... pavilion. Saturday: Matchbox car races, crafts, corn hole, horseshoes and the ever anticipated Wine & Cheese social! Bring 1 bottle of your favorite wine to share (or your own beverage), 1 snack to share (cheese, crackers, finger foods) & your own glasses (drinking ware, not eye wear). You all know the drill, 21 years of age or older! Maybe, just maybe, you will all get lucky and see me there!!

Lastly, I thought I would share a picture of a dear, dear friend that visited yesterday. Look closely, he's even smiling for a photo opportunity!

Kids are going to hate this statement, and parents are going to jump for joy: School is getting VERY close. This weekend starts off the month of August!! So to celebrate parents' freedom from their kids, we are having School Supply Bingo on Friday night followed by the Flashlight Lollipop Hunt! Saturday is crafts for both adults and children, corn hole, horseshoes and then Bingo at 7:30.

This week is supposed to be a bit chilly with some rain, but I know I don't need to tell everyone how much we need rain. The yard is dying!!! Let it rain all this week, while we are at work, and then this weekend, let the sunshine begin! Or, at least, that's what I'm hoping for!!

Absolutely nothing is worse than a summer that moves just a bit too fast! It's the middle of July people!!! School is starting in less than a month. This week will have a high in the 70's <-- That's fall weather.

We have had a tremendously nice summer so far, and I'm only hoping that we can keep it up for a bit longer. But, regardless of all of that, I'm ready for some real camping weather!

This weekend is our Annual Christmas in July!! Bingo is Friday night. Saturday is all about Christmas fun with crafts (adult and children), cornhold, Candy Cane Hunt and Karaoke! Come on down to the pavilion and sing your favorite Christmas Carol for all to hear!! Even though there may not be snow on the ground, there's always going to be a bit of Christmas cheer in everyone's hearts!!!

who ordered the wet stuff?

I think this rain is far beyond Mother Nature's control. I remember posting just a couple of weeks ago that rain was a good thing. Now, I do still believe that rain is a good thing, but keeping me stuck inside for 8 hours of work and then for more hours at home is a danger for everyone. Sometimes, I just get cabin fever, and quite frankly, I'm ready for the warm up!

Since no one wants to let me know if they're even reading this, I'm just going to do this: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

How's that? Crazy enough to get some feedback on our Facebook page and website?!

On a side note, this Saturday from 9-4 is the annual Antique Car & Tractor Show! Come see the amazing vehicles that our very own camper own and have rebuilt!

Now, now, everyone please settle down. I'm back! It's only been a week, but I understand that I am hard to live without!

These last few weeks have been amazing! The sun has been shining (most of the time), everyone is happy (most of the time), and I'm NOT sleeping during work hours (highly unlikely).

School is finally out!!! So you're going to start to see a lot more children and a lot more of Cherie running around this place. Which is quite nice if I do say so myself. But no, you will not be seeing less of me. I'll still be here 40 hours a week! :) Come see Cherie while she starts her summer job at Bingo Friday night in the pavilion. Then again for crafts Saturday morning. There's the regular Horseshoe & Cornhole Tournaments on Saturday. And then the Wine & Cheese Social in the pavilion at 7:30! Only those that are 21 years of age are allowed to attend, but those that are of age will not be acting like adults (I can only speculate).

Come hang out and have a grand old time! (And by that, I mean come see me!) :) Happy Sunshine!!

Please allow me to explain before you all come rushing at me with pitch forks and torches. Better yet, let's let Luke Bryan do all the talking for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFkmB17RFYc

And don't worry about this one solitary week of rain. I slipped Mother Nature a $20, and she agreed to give me 70 degree weather for Memorial Day Weekend!!! I have no idea if she's going to stick to our bargain, but if she doesn't... Well I can't talk about that on the internet.

Is anyone even reading this?? Am I just making Cyber Space think I'm insane?! Please, please, please let us know if you are enjoying the website, and do NOT forget about our Facebook page. The link can be found on the Home page. We like constructive criticism... most of the time. Once again, I cannot stress how important it is for you all to come see me. I promise to be in the office this weekend. They wouldn't give me any more time off. Bingo is Saturday at 7:30 in the pavilion, like usual. Be there, or be square!

 http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/43517 If you have a good minute, just click the link. It may bring your spirits up today! Now if you can ignore the clouds and the possible thought of rain, you will see that we're just about to 70 degrees. Give or take a few more weeks and we'll be playing with sunny skies and butterflies!!

Now to the point of the shenanigans: COME TO CAMP!! Seriously. Now I know it's going to be hard for everyone, since this will be my first weekend off of the season, but don't fret! I'll be back. That's a threat and a promise. :) Bingo will be Saturday night at 7:30 in the same place (pavilion). (Someday we're going to have Bingo in some crazy spot just so I can watch everyone try to find the spot!!) Before you go to Bingo, stop by at the pavilion for the April/May Birthday Potluck at 5:30! Everyone bring a passing dish!

Back to the important stuff: STOP BY TO SEE US!!! Our office is fully stocked with ice cream! You need to stop by and try the new flavor: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup.
