As always committee will bring you awesome entertainment!
Another attraction is the Hot Air Balloon races

Way to go Scott! Nice game plan. Check out sites at Brown County in January?

[Mark72]

I'll be ready for the spring gathering!

I've heard from many different directions that spot specific reservations are a thing of the past in our state parks. Has anyone got details on this ? Is it true?

As state employees you should get a free pass or very reduced rates at all the state parks. Have you looked into this ?

I have an uncle who has been a state trooper forever and he makes a habit of staying at all the state park inn's when he is in need of a hotel room.
