To All of My Camping Friends :
The campground has been closed but a short
time and already we are looking forward to opening day of the 2011 season. Now I
know that this comment sounds strange but believe me it’s true. The past season
was just so much different than any of our 13 past seasons. The families that
came from all over the tri-state area and even further were just so personable
and friendly bringing an outstanding lever of camping friendship each and every
weekend which made it easy and fun to work the long hours that are part of this
type of business. The numbers of families camping this season was so much
greater than the recent past years. We hope the reason for this is the quality
and personality of the campground and all of those who visit and camp at
Buttercup. Whenever we look out over the number of people that take part in all
the activities the campground has to offer a rush goes through you and you have
the feeling that possibly you have done it right.
The Second Annual Golf outing went off
without a hitch due to the outstanding work of the committee that took the time
to work out smallest to the largest details needed to make a group outing of
this size flow so well. The volunteers that also worked tirelessly to put
together the after outing party and award ceremonies were really the unsung
heroes of the day. Lets go for number three and make it even better.
The Fourth Annual Water Battle with the
Connoquenessing Volunteer Fire Company went just as expected. Yes Buttercup is
undefeated against the firemen. What was so great was the number of campers that
came out to participate in this event. Men and woman, husband and wives, young
and old all worked together to keep Buttercup # 1. Oh ya, it was also a ton of
fun. I’m sure that next season will have even more campground firemen come out
to defend the trophy.
Another high lite of the season was the
tribute to our own Bob Nuttall. With his tireless work each and every week
taking care of the 50-50 raffle with the proceeds going to the Connoquenessing
Volunteer Fire Company. This has been a one man crusade to make sure that our
friends at CVFC are rewarded in a small way for the hard work they do protecting
all of our families while they are at Buttercup. To date Bob has collected
$51,200.00 and presented it to CVFC to help offset the cast of operation....
Thank you Bob !!!!!!
The First Annual Golf Outing geared to male
female teams in the campground went off with the precision of a fine watch. This
outing has brought out so many new golfers to the campground and also has many
people getting together that never did before this event. The volunteers for
this event gave of their time and again made Buttercup shine like no other. I
myself have to say that this outing was ssoooo much fun that I can’t wait for
the next one. Another outstanding event put together by the campers here in our
camping family.
Now we are looking forward to Opening Day
April 15, 2011. Between today and April we have two RV shows, Pittsburgh Jan.
8th thru16th., and Erie Feb.10th thru 13th., then there is Open house March 5th.
and 6th.. There and plenty of opportunities to get together over the winter
months but the main goal is to get to opening day at camp.
MY FRIENDS I HOPE TO SEE YOU
THEN...........Have a great Holiday Season...........
