This birthday party is starting to look like a Camp-Inn gathering....so far, all attendees are CI owners... :D

Another teardrop added - Kevon & Annette!

Good to see we are adding a few more.

I haven't released the group sites yet...thought I would give it a few more days. Once I do, the reservation link will no longer be active. If you want to make reservations, you will need to contact the park directly and/or print out the reservation form & mail it to them. You can mention you would like to be close to the Teardrop group sites.

Happy Camping!

Betsey :cool:
 
I contacted the park directly to make reservation for site #18. Park employee, forgot name, indicated he recorded name for site, didn't desire any payment or official forms.

Ready to join the other Camp Inn's for a birthday party!

A BIG THANK YOU to all who attended the St. Croix 15th Tearjerker Birthday Bash this past weekend!

The weather was gorgeous, the campground was awesome (thanks Parnell & Barb!), the company was great & the food was abundant (as always!) ;)

Thanks to everyone for helping out with anything & everything that needed to be done.

The locals in the campground had been forewarned of our arrival & several stopped by to look, "ohhhh"ing & "aawwww"ing all the while.

We missed those who were unable to join us due to unexpected health concerns & hope you are well on your way to recovery & will join us at the next gathering.

We had some "soon to be" teardrop owners stop by today to meet people & get acquainted with our group. Welcome Bill & Cindy! Always fun to add more to the festivities!

Hope everyone made it home safe!

Thanks again!

Betsey :cool:

PS: Our final count was 8 campers - 4 from Wisconsin, 1 from Minnesota, 2 from Illinois, & 1 from Nebraska - 15 adults, 2 kids, 5 dogs, 2 soon-to-be teardrop owners & lots of curious fellow campers
 
Bill & Cindy,

Sorry to hear this. Hang in there - things have a way of working out. In the meantime, please continue to join us when we get together.

:cool:

The St. Croix Chapter of Tearjerkers 15th Birthday Bash was a hit! Weather was great, bugs were nearly nonexistent, park was fantastic, company was awesome & the food was abundant & amazing (as always!)

We had 8 campers, 15 adults, 2 kids, & 5 dogs.

Fun stuff all weekend - geocaching, eating, the Art Fair in Spring Green, hiking around the park, eating some more, hanging out, stories by the campfire (accompanied by eating), star gazing, giving tours of the campers, meeting new friends (and have them join us in even more eating), & just having a great time!

For our birthday celebration, we had a shellfish (or low country) boil with shrimp, scallops, mussels, smoked sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes & onions. Yum!

For dessert, we had DO Blueberry Streusel Cobbler (thank you Tina) with homemade peach ice cream (hand cranked by several).

Thanks to everyone for coming out, helping out, hanging out & making it another great camping weekend!

:cool:
