Halloween, Moose River CG
Oct 10, 2017 - The campground celebrated Halloween this weekend with a pot luck dinner, a pumpkin carving contest, a site decorating contest, entertainment and a huge bonfire. Jack was the only one to carve a pumpkin and he won first place. I think he did a really great job and would have won anyway even if others had done one. We decorated our site

Seasonal Dinner, Moose River CG
Sept 8, 2017 - Every season the campground puts on a seasonal dinner supplying everything just for the seasonal campers and this year they had both lobster and steak. They cooked forty 1-lb lobsters and grilled 30 steaks, and all the extras were catered. They fed 26 campers. This was a first for us and boy was it good. The lobsters were soft shell and relatively easy to crack even without crackers and Norm cooked the steaks to perfection, anyway you wanted it. After dinn

Quechee Gorge, Quechee, VT
Sept 7, 2017 - They call Quechee Gorge the Grand Canyon of Vermont but it's nothing like it as far as I'm concerned. Yes, its 165 feet deep and is the deepest gorge in Vermont. It serves as a popular tourist attraction in Quechee State Park and can be viewed from the U.S. Route 4 bridge and from trails on both sides of the gorge. The Ottauquechee River flows through the bottom of the gorge and Rt. 4 goes right over it.

Dog Costume Contest, Moose River CG
Sept 3, 2017 - The campground held a contest for the best dressed dog. It was raining out but eight dogs and their owners showed up. Each dog was given a toy after they performed a few tricks. They had to sit and not take a treat until told to, they had to walk around the pavilion next to their owner and pose for a picture. Needless to say, they all got a toy. Two people acted as judges and the winner received more toys, treats, a dog collar and doggie bags and scoop. T

20th Anniversary owning the campground, Moose River CG
Aug 16, 2017 - Last weekend the owners of the campground celebrated owning it for 20 years. They had a large sheet cake, brought out their numerous photo books with pictures from day one, and the seasonal campers toasted them and gave them a present. We all had a great time celebrating. Afterwards they had an adult comedian but unfortunately, one parent brought his 9-year-old son, so the comedian had to change his whole routine. Mary was not happy because she recommended,

North Haverhill Country Fair, Haverhill, NH
Jul 27, 2017 - We took a ride about 40 miles from St. Johnsbury, VT into New Hampshire to go to the North Haverhill Country Fair. We had a good time walking around watching all the kids on the rides, looking at all the animals and the shows. We saw plenty of cows, oxen pulling contests, chickens, rabbits, goats and one large pig with 12 piglets. There was also a car show with about 50 cars, some nice ones too. We also watched a magic show, a pretty good band and six littl

Frozen T-Shirt Contest, Moose River CG
Jul 23, 2017 - The campground had a frozen t-shirt contest. There were two teams of grandfather and grandson. The t-shirts were balled up in a container filled with water then frozen, and each "team" had to thaw it out using nothing but their bodies and put it on to win. Needless to say, the grandfathers did most of the work, taking almost two hours. Each got a free ice cream as their prize.

Paint & Sip, Moose River CG
The campground had a woman come in and she taught anyone who wanted to learn how to paint a watercolor picture. I didn't join but did watch seven women and one guy do their best and they did really well too. She's coming back again next month, and I think I might join this time.
