What a great weekend! Everyone rolling in Friday kept all of us busy until Science Gal had the BBQ all ready that she had been smoking all day. The dinner was absolutely marvelous Science Gal! Saturday was super fun with all the hikes and rafting & kayak trips, then back to camp for a very nice raffle. Thanks to all the members who brought such nice things, but especially to all the vendors who gave wonderful donations for prizes! Attending were Papa & Mama Smurf from Dream Hammocks, Paul & Missy from Underground Quilts, Brother Bones from Bonefire Gear, MacEntire from Molly Mac Gear and Dutch! Also we had donations from Butt in a Sling, Jacks R Better, Hammock Specialties 2Q-ZQ, Hammock Gear and even a T-Shirt from Shug, Hickery sent it!
The food was magnificent and there was so much! Thanks to all who brought dishes and cooked right there like Ice who made Rosin Potatoes and Rockdawg and others who kept the Dutch ovens and charcoal going!
My neighbors, The Mitten Family Bluegrass Band stopped by to pick a little on the porch and that simply made the evening complete!
I stayed an extra night with WV, Old Gringo and Jres Sunday and into Monday. We went hiking all day Sunday and then had some quiet time around the fire Sunday night. That was really good and I needed the wind down time with good old friends. I can't tell you how nice it was to see so many of my friends all together right here in my home town. And yes we are doing it again next year and it's already paid for and booked for the same time from the money that was raised from the raffle.
From Donations ahead of time and raffle combined there was $1660. raised
Money Spent
800 for this year and next year camping fee
100 for hang expenses
760 donated to Farm.
The money donated to the farm will be used for a handicap ramp for the Bathhouse and for exhaust fans for both bathrooms. Also if there is enough money left over they are discussing posts strategically placed in sites for more hammock friendly spaces!
