We arrived Wednesday afternoon, set up camp and tracked down some food to eat for dinner. Thankfully the Pizza vendor made a few pizzas and did they taste good. Even the plain cheese was excellent, he topped it a bit with feta which was delish.
My photos are ho hum at best. I am still getting used to using my iPhone camera.
Our camp kitchen area.

Our Necessary room. I can tell you we all found this handy at 3am when you woke with the need to go. The nearest campground bathroom was further than you want to walk in the dark freezing cold. It was also our shower room, just take out the camp toilet and voila, a shower. But it was way too cold to use it even though we had a water heater. The air was frigid outside.

The backside of the bathroom. We had the sheet strung up between my Burb and the screened tent to provide privacy from the other campers. If the sun was hitting on the bathroom, it put you in silhouette. Talk about a girlie show.

On Friday and Saturday, it snowed. Did I mention is was cold??? If it was snowing in the daytime you can just imagine the how cold it got at night.

Setting up the food booth for breakfast the first day.

The entire food court from left to right going in a circle. These were taken early Thursday morning, some did not even have their name signs up yet.

We are the Mexican food booth, Maria Christina’s. You can see the pizza guys next to us that fed us Wednesday night.

The BBQ guys did a fabulous tri-top sandwich. I had that 2 days in a row. I hit one guy up for the marinade recipe, it was that good. They were more than willing to share.

This ice cream/ smoothie booth was awesome. They had a chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream bar that they rolled in nuts, it was the perfect dessert. You can see the main stage behind their booth. That is where the music acts were, we could hear it all quite clearly. Alison Krauss did put on a fab show as did many of the others.

Continuing on to the right, more food booths.

The center area within the circle of booths is where tables and benches are set up for customers to sit down and eat. Very convenient and there are umbrellas over the tables to protect them from heat (which we had little of), rain and snow (which we had too much of).

The drink booth, hot coffee, tea, mochas and chai. A very popular booth in the AM and all thru the day.
Sorry for the lousy photo.

I should’ve taken some photos of the area while it was bustling with people but by then I was toiling away fixing Mexican food.
Part of our crew. This was Sunday, the only warm day.

We had a lot of laughs and we did enjoy some good food. See that ramp, I swear I walked up and down it 200 times over 4 days. You would think I would lose some fat doing that, but the fit of my clothes tell me I did not. Bummer.

Now I am getting back to my daily grind. I have signs to paint. I have been getting requests for some Subway art type signs so I am complying. It is hard for me not to paint a rose on or some other flower but not everyone wants that and I aim to please the customer.
Here is one of the first of many Subway art signs. I can do it in many colors, either backgrounds or the Love For You part to customize, or I can make it a bit bigger and add a name and birthdate if desired.

So I am branching out in my art. I need to work on my website soon and update it, just not enough hours in the day it seems. That is okay, we shall manage. Back to work I go…

Until we meet again, ta.

This all looked like fun even with the squirrely weather. I'm kind of surprised you didn't get more snow. That was all the news people could talk about all weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the sign... keep making more.
