Another campging season has come and gone, too fast! It was a great summer of meeting interesting people, renewing friendships, and making new friends. Our first annual Thanksgiving dinner was held at the Legion Oct 9th with 32 campers. Thanks to the Legion once again for the use of their hall.
We remained quite busy, right up to Thanksgiving, with everyone enjoying the great fall weather we had. We were also able to do some grounds keeping, clean up the flower beds, put down 3 loads of good black earth and reseed quite a few low areas. Parks Canada came in and cut down several trees that were damaged. Right after the park closed, a new roof was put on the office building.
The best way to contact us over the winter is by email: lionscampgroundmerrickville@gmail.com. We will not be taking phone messages until April 15th. We already have several hundred bookings for next summer, and some weekends are already full, so if you intend to camp with us, it would be advisable to email as soon as possible. Please remember that Jan 1st we are taking bookings for 2013. Our official 2012 open date is Tuesday May 1st, but we will be there the previous weekend for any snowbirds returning.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Health and Happiness in 2012. Look forward to seeing you next summer!
Fern and Sue
