Paula,
Yes, that was funny when Christine was trying to chase the cat away. Mocha (the doggie) was getting upset because the cat was there. So Christine decided to go chase the cat away. I loved how she was making all these motions and acting all threatening  😮  -- what did the cat do? Just stare at her and proceed to clean himself. Gotta love cats!

Also, when we showed up, we saw the world's slowest lawn mower. The guy took two hours to slowly mow our portion of the campground. Pretty funny.

Thanks Joe and Steve for the great memories.  Bring on more stories everyone. Anyone interested in creating great memories of the 2011 Lake Glory Rally, there are still a few sites left.

OK, I just did a little homework assigned to me by the famous brass ring steal'n  :cowboy:. If you go to Bloomsburg Fair website, http://www.Bloomsburg Fair.com (dah), you will find tons of information on all the entertainment, vendors, ticket prices, etc.  Some of the events that I saw listed are a tractor/truck pull, horse racing, horse and pony pull,Gold Rush high dive and Dock Dog. All family oriented events.  The cost of admission is $5 and parking is $5. The admission gate opens at 7:00AM and closes at 9:00PM.  Looks like tons of fun.

...  Some of the events that I saw listed are a tractor/truck pull, ... horse and pony pull ...

I was just commenting to someone last weekend that I remember those from growing up in Iowa and I thought my kids would enjoy seeing one.  They're not exactly common in the DC area, though.

It looks like they have the tractor/truck pull on Sat (9/24) at 7pm, as well as a figure-8 (demolition) race at 1pm.  Unfortunately, I think that was the day everyone was planning on going to Knobels.

Here's a direct link to the day-by-day calendar of events:

When I explored the Bloomsburg Fair website and looked at the daily events, for Friday, 8/23 there is a Vesper Service with Blue Grass music at the Grand Stand. This event is free of charge. I'm not sure if there will be vendors selling food, etc available as well. Some of you went on the first Friday last year. Can you enlighten us on what was available last year?

As per DD who goes to Bloomsburg University  On Friday night the fair is unofficially open. A majority of the vendors are open and food is available.  There is no admission charge.

The Klass family is headed to  camping at Otter Lake today thru Thursday.  I'll be away from a computer source until then.  While I'm away, please feel free to post any stories about your experiences at Knoebels, Bloomsburg Fair and Lake Glory.  All will be appreciated.  Also, when I return, I'll be working on the menu for the breakfast/brunch for Saturday, 9/24.  Please add any ideas or what you may like to bring. I'll be thinking of all of you while camping at beautiful, hopefully not so rainy this time, Otter Lake.  :dance:

How about if we have the breakfast on Sunday morning?
There is lots of great food at the Bloomsburg Fair/Knoebels Park to enjoy.

Knoebels doesn't open until 11am on Saturday so we were hoping to have coffee available at 6:30am for the early birds and have breakfast at 9am for everyone interested.  This way it won't effect anyones packing on Sunday since most are leaving that day.

The  Klass family just returned from a great week at Otter Lake.  I noticed a post suggesting that the breakfast occur on Sunday AM instead of Saturday.  The suggestion for switching seems to be because some campers may want to go to the Bloomsburg Fair early first and then go to Knoebles. Saturday will be a very busy day for some campers trying to pack in both the fair and amusement park in one day.  I checked with Lake Glory and was informed that check out is at 2:00PM for campers and 11:00AM for cabins. I would like to hear from other campers who are planning to attend this rally to see which would be the better day for them.

We are planning a breakfast get together at Lake Glory for either Saturday or Sunday, depending on the input we receive from those attending as to the better day and time.  I would like to start posting what breakfast items you would like to bring.  I plan to bring a french toast casserole.  Some other ideas are to bring a egg casserole, bagels and muffins, bread for toasting and a four slice toaster,breakfast meats, OJ or other favorite juice for kids. Other items that would have to be prepared that morning are hash browns or fried potatoes, eggs, and pancakes.  Any other suggestions are welcomed.  Please post what day and time is better for you and what you may be bringing.

I am good for Saturday. I would be ok with Sunday only issue is some may want to get up and pack to leave.

We can bring Bagels, and fixings (butter, cream cheese, Jelly/Jam) If someone has a large coffee pot, I have sugar, regular and flavored creamers.

Hey Paula, Chef Pete still hasn't decided what, but I put a vote in for Saturday breakfast. For us, we have a packup system and I want to be able to socialize with everyone, it we do it Sunday, I feel we would run out early in order to start packup and getout based on schedule.

Saturday also seems to me to set the tone for the day better - Personal Opinion

Thanks Pete and Phil. Looks like we will be keeping the breakfast for Saturday. No hurry on letting me know what you are bringing. Whatever it will be, I'm sure it will be great.
