Getting Ready For The Pig Roast

Preparations are under way for the 2nd annual Pig Roast! Chris and Joe have a big to do list this week. They've got the tent set up and power washed and the campground has been mowed. The pig cooker is coming in today and the special wood Jack's been saving for the pig has to be hauled over. We've been busy in the office taking last minute reservations. It's a lot of extra work but, it's worth it. It's going to be a great weekend!

Our own field of dreams

The guys found the time to put a ball diamond in the back field. While they were at it they decided to put in some benches for the teams or spectators to sit on. It turned out pretty nice.

Christmas in July

It was all about Christmas this weekend. At first we were thinking "It's to hot to feel like Christmas" but, once the decorations started going up and the Christmas music was playing it was easy to get into the spirit. By Saturday the kids were ready for making Christmas crafts and after a quick dip in the pool, we started the judging for the best decorated site. Congratulations to the Lynds. Later that afternoon we had a special visit from Santa! Coming from the North Pole he wasn't used to the heat so we let him sit in the air conditioned Rec. Hall. After Santa handed out his gifts we ended the evening with our awesome ice cream social. After dark it was campfires, s'more's, stars and Christmas lights.

Everything Strawberry.....Yummy!

The highlight of the Everything Strawberry weekend was the Ice Cream Social/Strawberry Potluck on Saturday evening. Delicious desserts and great people to share it with. We had some very creative recipes on the table. My personal favorite was the Strawberry Pizza. Pie crust, cream cheese, and strawberries.....yummy!

Update.... Landscaping of the Gate

Joe found some time over the holiday weekend to install a sign and some flowers at the gate. With a little help from his trusty golf cart, he dragged this 200 pound piece of Granite all the way from the river path. While he was making the rock border he noticed the smaller rock that looks like the outline of N.H. and couldn't resist putting it beside the sign. It's lookin' good.

Kayak Rentals

Quite a few of our guests took advantage of the Kayak and Canoe rentals. It's a good deal at $15.oo for a half day kayak rental. If kayaks aren't your thing, the canoes are only $20.00 for a half day. Jack and Chris can tell you where to put in for a one, two or three hour float.

MMM...Rib Fest!!

We had a spectacular day for our 2nd Annual Rib Fest!! The premise is simple...we supply the ribs, BBQ'd to perfection and you bring a side dish to share. There were so many yummy dishes that people's plates were full even before they got down to the grill to pile on the ribs. Many thanks to Jack for all the prep and cooking and to AJ for all his assistance once the grill was HOT!! And BIG HUGE thanks go to Chris and Joe, our ever hard working crew, that once again worked hard all week to make the park beautiful and make sure that the Rib Fest went off without a hitch!! Where would we all be if we did not have all those great picnic tables to sit on!! A great time was had by all...sorry you missed it!! Make your reservations now for PIG ROAST '08 (Aug 2nd). Sites are going fast!!

Having Fun withTie Dye

Happy Fourth of July! It's the beginning of an activity packed holiday weekend. This morning we made red, white, and blue tie dye shirts. We all had a great time. It's amazing the different looks you can get. I bet most of us will be wearing our new shirts to the fireworks tonight. I don't have much time to write. We've got to get ready for the bike parade this afternoon!

Happy 4th of July!

We have our flags flying at Riverbrook. We've been preparing all week for the holiday. Today we're going to Tie Dye some T-shirts and have a bike parade. Fireworks in the field tonight. Tomorrow is our 2nd annual Rib Bash. Jack is cooking the ribs and the campers are bringing the side dishes. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. If you have nothing planned this weekend give us a call. We have room for a few more campers.

Cool Dog

The pups like to stay cool, too. The pool is only for people, but dogs can go for a swim at the beach.
