Things to do while in Gettysburg: Golf at Liberty Resort (very close, like 5 min away), Gettysburg Battle field, Battlefield Harley Davidson store, Neat shopping in historic downtown, the outlets at Gettysburg, Ghost tours in gettysburg, the campgrounds annual yard sale is that weekend too, bring your stuff to sell, or your list to buy,  Beer sampling.

Also, Adam's County Winery http://www.adamscountywinery.com is in town or the actual winery is in Cashtown. Also, a fun place if you like elephants and/or candy is Mr Ed's Elephant Museum and Candy Store http://www.mistereds.com/ located on RT 30 headed toward Chambersburg.

Best Regards,
Norm

I reserved site 236. 

[size=12pt]Camping next to water was on my list of things I want to do![/size] Of course, I think I pictured a lake in my head, but this works too.  🙂

I'm a bit worried that my site is double-booked though, when I first asked about site 236 the guy said it was taken, then I mentioned I was with Canvas Campers and then he said the site was available.  Hopefully they just moved someone who didn't request a specific site that wasn't with the group. 

Has anyone been to yard sale weekend before?

Cindy,
That site is blocked... for the CanvasCampers group.
I talk to the campground often and that site is blocked for our group but not booked... until now.  Glad you can make it.

We will be there, Wednesday April 18 to Sunday April 22, site # 14.

Due to medical reasons we need a sewer hookup so couldn't take one of the blocked sites. The campground does know that we are part of the group so our attendance counts towards the quota for a discount.

looking forward to meeting everyone.

Forgot to include in my original post - I will bring a selection of Rickards beers, unless someone has a specific request for a Canadian beer.

Hi Joe, please don't forget me on your list  :-

I'm not sure on the type of beer yet.

I have updated everything at the beginning of the thread.  If you have info missing, please post an update.

There has been discussion of having a summer picnic type dinner with hamburgers, hotdogs, lettuce, tomato, onion, pasta, macaroni and potato salads, maybe baked beans, pickles and olives, a few deserts, etc.  I'm game for anything, let me know your thoughts?

I always thought a Saturday night potluck was a given. We're in with whatever.

Whatever works best for you, Joe. It ends up with someone doing lots of grilling and not as much socializing. And how to collect the $$?

oops, sorry, 2 to 4 adults for me.  One friend is in, still waiting to hear from my brother and sister.

Potluck or picnic style, either way is good for me. I have a small tabletop gas grill that I can bring if needed which will cook about 6 or 8 burgers.

Hot dogs and hamburgers  and  picnic fixings sound great to me.  We did that two rallies ago at French Creek and it was great. Goes well with a beerfest too.

We can have everyone bring something, two people can take care of burgers and one person bring hotdogs so there will be no collecting money.
