Hi Cheryl,
We will have to stop by and say hello. Tracy told us that you are going to be there. Looking forward to meeting you.
Shelly and Family
Looking forward to seeing everyone. Is anyone else interested in joining us?:)
It looks like we'll have a mini Apple Harvest Rally!!
I think there will be at least 9 campers at my last count.
What fun!!! Wear your most comfortable walking shoes!
Tracy, do you have directions on how to get to the fairgrounds from the campground? If not, I will try to bring an extra copy.
Cheryl
I'm on Post 10 something.
Cheryl bring one for me, I think I will be tuned up good enough to walk a distance. I hope...

I do not have directions, so if you could bring an extra copy I would appreciate it. Do you have any other plans for the weekend? What nights will you be camping?:)
We will be there Friday morning until Monday afternoon.
The men usually burn wood, drink beer, and play cards.
The ladies spend most of Saturday and some of Sunday at the Fairgrounds. It is nearly impossible to see all that there is to see at the Fairgrounds in one day, my feet don't last that long, so we stretch it out over two days. We'll have a campfire every night. Come on over and join us.
Cheryl and the gang
P.S. I'll try to remember extra directions, and there is admission charged to get into the fairgrounds ($7) but there is no charge for parking. If you can find someone up in that area that can look for admission coupons in the newspaper, there generally are $1-off coupons available. We never get them in this area.
Looks like if we can get wedged in to a site, we will be joining the party. We plan to arrive Friday afternoon and stay until Monday.
Look forward to seeing everyone...
Chip and Margie,
So glad to hear you are coming. Can't wait to see you both again. I am glad you can join the fun! What site are you on??
Shelly, John and Stepanie
Chip glad to hear you will be joining us on this trip. ARe you bringing the cats?
Oh we have little rally, ain't she a beautiful site ... (to the tune of Convoy):D
I contacted the contact e-mail on the Apple Festival website and inquired about coupons. The one near Morgantown (French Creek) has an online coupon and I thought I was missing Gettysburg's...but it seem I was not...here is the reply. I do have the right Apple Festival Correct?
Thanks for your interest in our festival, however, we will not be having discount coupons. The general admission price is $8.00. You can purchase advance tickets by sending a check to us now and get advance tickets for $7.00 each by mail.
Our address is
The National Apple Harvest Festival
PO Box 38
Biglerville, PA 17307.
If you choose to do this please write the amount of advance tickets that you want to purchase in the check memo and we will send them to you.
Thanks for your interest in our festival.
Hi Paula,
You do have the right one in Biglerville.
Shelly
Tracy I received your confirmation in the mail today. So I will bring it with me when I see you at Locust Lake Rally
See you soon,
Shelly
Sounds like a fun time and I 'm sorry to miss it. That's parent's weekend for my oldest and she wants us to try to come (her senior yr). Enjoy. I'll especially miss the campfire. Starting to feel like fall here, at least in the evenings. Perfect weather.

Thanks Shelly.:)
Looks like we got squozed in--we are on Post 1, arriving Friday afternoon and departing on Sunday. (I have to catch a plane on Monday for Missouri for a conference. Hence the early departure. Dang work keeps getting in the way of recreation.)
It'll be Margie, myself and, of course, the camping felines.
See y'all then.
Chip I am glad that you can make the trip.:)
I will be leaving on MOnday...just not sure how long I can handle a two year old...I may have to leave a little earlier and hopefully come back. I am slated to bring Jeffrey's 2 year old Bundle of Joy or more realistically, energy...we will see if his mom changes her mind about letting me have him for the long weekend. Shannon offered to let be bring his almost 2 year old also...Can you see me, the person who does not like kids, with 2 two year olds?? Hard enough to see me with one...
I did a trial run yesterday (not with the 2 year old) and went to the Renn Faire (in full costume as usual, Raymond stayed home). Last year I could not go because of my injured back, walking any distance was almost impossible...AND this year, I walked and walked and walked and walked...where is that silly orthopedic surgeon??? He told me I would never get better...FOOLED him...yes I am ready for the Apple festival... I LOVE yoga dot org dot NZ AND the Miracle Ball I am now walking 5 miles a day...so look out Biglerville, I am BAAAck!!!
Hey you all!
When are you guys planning on getting to Granite Hill? Some of our group are going up Thursday eve. We are going up Friday morning before lunch. The $10 early arrival fee is worth it to get most of an extra day in camping!!!!!! Hope to see everyone real soon.
Cheryl and the gang
Cheryl
We won't be leaving until my daughter and her friend get out at 2:30pm. We won't coming until Friday late afternoon.
Looking forward to meeting you,
Shelly and Family
Cheryl I have to work on Friday so I will be leaving work about 1615. Not sure what the best/most fuel efficient/shortest way to get to the campground is. From home it is about 2 hours to Gettysburg. I should be there before 1900 unless I hit bad traffic.:D
