Labor Day weekend was jam-packed in many ways. The RV park was filled to the brim with happy campers (pardon the pun). We had to put rigs on the unimproved sites and tent campers in the primitive camping field--and they were thrilled to have ANY spot on this busy holiday weekend! The scheduled activities were a big hit. It started with karaoke on Friday night, then a pancake breakfast Saturday morning, karaoke again on Saturday night, an ice cream social on Sunday afternoon, and a G-rated movie outdoors on Sunday night. The owners donated all proceeds from the pancake breakfast and ice cream social to KOA's children's cancer fund, so it's not only nice for the guests, it's also for a good cause. The weather was warm and sunny so the pool was very popular. Beach volleyball and the jumping pillow saw activity from 9 am (when opened) to dark.
It was pretty much all hands on deck to prepare the park. Drew, the other workamper couple, and the owners spent all day Thursday plus Friday morning mowing, trimming, and weeding each site and the grounds. I helped weed, plant flowers, and stock up the store. Buddy watered and fertilized Kamp K-9. There was a steady stream of arrivals beginning at about 1:00 Friday afternoon, continuing through Saturday. At times there was a line of rigs two-across and four deep. When that occurred, the guys led the guests to their sites first and had them come back to check in once they were set up.
The owners' mission and passion is about families and creating family memories. I think it's fair to say, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"!
