Stagecoach Days 2016

Stagecoach days 2016 was headed up this year by none other than Jeni.The first thing I said to her when i heard this great news was"ARE YOU CRAZY!!"
 Six months later she pulled off one fantastic event and raised a ton of money for the park.She had a great crew of people helping her and  they all put on 4 days of fun food and entertainment that wowed the masses here.I am very proud of her.
 Day#1 was registration,a craft fair,a bake walk,and at night was a very local band that played some fantastic songs.how local were they,well they are all members of our park.
Day#2 was a carnival with all kinds of booths from a "shootin gallery to a wine toss".We even had a dunk tank with our own members manning the" trap door" seat."NO JEN,I'm not gettin in that tank!
Day#3 was our annual auction where we raised a ton of money.We also had continental breakfasts,hamburger and hot dog lunches both days, and day#4 was our"hitch up breakfast" to end our 4 days of fun.
I think the residents are already working on Jen to do it again next year."PLEASE JEN NOOOOO! Honestly she has my blessing she and her crew did a fantastic job.

my buddy john was first up in the dunk tank with his tutu and head gear.OH! by the was it was 38 degrees this morning!

Jeni at our carnival entrance"come one come all!"

poor John waiting for the first ball to be tossed. the"bite me" sign won't rile anybody up will it? OH,by the way it was a balmy 42 degrees!

The maintenance crew which I'm a part of put on Saturdays Hamburger Hot dog lunch yummy!

The other half of our lunch crew,the servers.We dished up 90 hamburgers,44 hot dogs,50 corn dogs,and a ton of french fries.We were one tired crew!

This was Jeni's signature outfit for the carnival Friday.She was the "belle of the festivities

Jeni's  final nights speech to the crowd of almost 300 .They hung on her every word as she gave them the parks final take from SCD 2016 over 11,000 dollars! She had them eating out of her hand with her composed,relaxed delivery of her speech.It gave this proud husband goosebumps.

On the last night after her speech,she was given a bouquet of roses and a standing ovation.What a night!With the current political climate the way it is with no clear cut candidate coming forward,I think ill have her run for president.......STOP HITTING ME WITH YOUR ROSES!......OK i was kidding.

What a fantastic 4 days! Today Jen and I are laying low and resting up for our summer travels in a couple of weeks. We will be hosting at Bullards Beach State park in Bandon Oregon for May and June.Then we head to Sacramento for the birth of our first Great Grand Daughter in early July. We will head back to Oregon for some needed repairs on the RV and finish off our summer in Brookings Oregon and Crescent City Ca.
Of coarse with the RV lifestyle our plans are always set in JELLO as they say.
People always ask us when we will give up this lifestyle and settle down,well our health is still good and we have a lot of our members here in the park over70 and they are still going strong out there on the road.I guess our answer is "until its no fun anymore" but for us we still get what us RVers call' HItch Itch" and we still get it so we will keep rolling those miles to new and exciting places.
We will be back to the park sometime in October ready to get back to the Park Sierra lifestyle and Stagecoach Days2017.See ya on the road this summer.
