3rd annual Camp-Out: Reminder

Post Date: 6/24/09 6:52 am
Every year we have a camp-out at the Middlebury KOA (near Shipshiwana). The owner of the KOA, Hope Perkins, is a member of the Indiana OH board. This time of year she is extremely busy so I offered to post the information for her.

When:  We time it so that we can attend the Middlebury Summer Festival. This year, it will be August 7-9.

Price:  Hope offers the sites at a 15% group discount for the Indiana board. The prices have not gone up since last year. They are:
RV's:  FP 30amp $39.14           
FP 50amp $42.14
Tents:  WE across from sewer sites $32.96
Kabins $55.77 all plus tax

When you call to make your reservation, be sure to let who-ever answers the phone know that you are with the Obesity Help group so that you can be located nearby (and get the group rate discount).

Each member needs to call in their information (800) 562-5892) and deposit.  Bill & I will be at site 24, the end site...where we we last year.

Previously, we had a pitch-in dinner on Saturday night. As we blossomed in size, so did the amount of work that this took to accomplish...so...we decided instead for us to all meet for dinner at the Amish Restaurant in town (5 PM). Brenda & Floyd was able to get us some coupons for there. Terrific food...and they do the cooking & the dishes! We will still have the gathering around the campfire each night.

(*** If ANYONE has any of the sugar-free marshmallows that BariatricEating use to sell, please contact me. They don't have them anymore and the ones from PerfectlySweet.com are to small to roast for our sf schmore's.)   Please let me know when/if you make your reservations so I can be sure to add you to the emails that I will be sending out as the time approaches.

I so wish that I could come, but I'm working that weekend. If there is anyway to get advanced noticed next year so I could work my schedule around it, I'd appreciate it!!

Melissa,

We have scheduled it every year to coinside with the Summer Festival in Middlebury. The first year, it was on the first weekend in August. Last year and this year, on the 2nd weekend. Sorry that I can't give you a better head's up  than that. When I first posted about it (~1-2 months ago), that was the first that I found out when the festival would be.
