We really enjoy using the group campsites so we can hang out and get to know one another plus it is a lot less expensive. By keeping costs down we are able to make it affordable for everyone. We all brought some kind of covered dish, and other stuff and everynight we had a large group meal, followed by a nice fire. In the morning we all gathered around the coffee pot and planned our day. We don't run it as a tourniment at all. We don't want it to become a competition but to keep it a friendly get together. On Sat. nite we had a huge fishfry and a nice big fire, and gave out door/raffle prizes for a solid hour, the we were treated with a concert by a bluegrass band. Sunday morning we ended our meet with a little service by the fire. The greatest experience is we keep this very family oriented and had several kids there. It was cool watching them making new friends and interacting with each other, a lot of them I think, will be life long friends.Which is priceless!!! I know I have made several new friends and am looking forward to making more in May and sooner. We would love to have you all attend I am sure you will really enjoy it. If you can't get any interest in WV Check out the OH link and you will see what I mean. Glad to have ya
