Bash5
Well, I know Bash4 just ended a month or so ago, but we wanted to let all those interested know, that Bash5 is already in the works. We have locked in our dates with Coopers Lake. Bash5, 2014 will be July2- 6. Unlike previous years, there is not an early arrival day, the 2nd of July is the first day we can get in. I was very impressed that 98% of the attendees came the day before the rally actually started this past year, but due to another event they are having at Cooper's Lake, the 2nd is the soonest we can get in.
I know some of you will look at these dates and say "I work, it starts when I am still working." Many have chosen to make this a summer family vacation and we hope that trend will continue.
As always, please bring your kids, their friends, and your grandchildren if that applies.
Be forewarned, we only have 28, 30 amp hook ups. We can accommodate many on 15 amp on top of the 28, 30 amp hook ups. The 30 amp will be first come, first served when we open up registration around the first of the year. My fellow host and I have decided that we want to limit the group to 40 trailers total. We are not trying to be elitist, we just want to make sure the quality of this event remains where it has been in the past.
I hope this starts some awesome dialog. I also hope some of you will volunteer to put on some new activities we have not had in the past. Your suggestions are always welcome.
As always, we appreciate you spending your hard earned vacation time with us...

Mark Your Calendar
Bash 5 should be even better then Bash 4. Frank and I plus all are other valuable helpers have this event dialed in. I know I don't have to sell it to the former attendees. For those who say maybe next year. Well, put it on your calendar. You will be guaranteed a very welcoming and great time. I can't wait to see all my old Streaming friends and meet some new ones.
See Ya @ The Bash

No mention of motorhomes? From the (now) only motorhome owner at the Bash?

Only Fakin'Bacon for me
The Bash continues to be my favorite trailer event and I am planning to be there again in 2014. Like Jason and others, I have a perfect 5 year attendance, even though the first year I camped in the back of my truck.
Hugs all around! Miss y'all!

It's not just the bacon and scrapple
Frank and Ace,
It's fun to watch the suspense build. The best part is that the Bash always lives up to the suspense and then some... Sitting around a campfire, or a pie tin of candles or, one year, a kiddy pool of cool water for our feet. Grandkids, kids and big kids. Creating frozen drinks in a gas powered blender or from the portable bar, movies on the big screen, old friends and new friends, handmade lemonade, a new "box" of wine, music and food. Clowning around with a real clown, meeting a parrot, sharing Airstream adventures and some of life's challenges (kind of like a dent in the aluminum). Fishing, bike riding, ice cream at the camp store, two new friends with a butterfly net, the swimming hole in the creek, and don't bring up the hot air balloons at dusk. Breakfasts that ARE the champions, barbeque, and potluck dinners. Celebrating a birthday, Independence Day and Canada Day, eh? Kettle corn, Scotties on the hill, fresh coffee as the sun comes up, and the reflections of bright aluminum on the still surface of the lake. School bus demolition derby, making ice cream in zip lock bags, hands colored with tie dye, and amazing rockets. And two hosts that work like crazy and their families that support them to plan and arrange and buy and haul and cook and clean and smile and then care enough to do it the fifth time.
Thanks for doing it again and we look forward to seeing you there!
Marie and Roy

Just a little heads up.... Ace I were talking. When his daughter comes home for the Christmas break, we will get her to help us update everything(yes, we need her help with this) and will open things up right at the first of the year.
For Bash5 we are hoping for some suggestion of activities and even volunteers to take some over. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, let either of us know.
