CRA MEMBERS: FRIENDLY REMINDER. TODAY, MAY 16TH. CRA'S Annual Mini G-Sale. 10-3. This is just a day to clean out your shed, around your RV or even in the RV. A chance to get ready for an enjoyable Camping Season. (Along with a great feeling of passing a few things onto someone else.) "The Taste of the Pits" ( 5-7 ) is also an annual event that many look forward to... A time to reconnect with friends & new camping neighbors. What you do is set something you would like to share on a table in front of your camper. It can be anything, doesn't have to be a lot, everyone is tasting. When it is gone it's gone. You can also set up at Horseshoe Pavilion if you would like. (Fishing, primitive campers or north lakeside members.) A game of Horseshoe's could be going on. It's time to get out and enjoy Camping Life! Hope to see you soon.
