SCCampers 5th Annual Trick or Treat Rally, 2007

[Freedom_5]

Are you going to let us know how much money to send for train ride?  I know its so much per ticket but do I have to fiqure out the 10%,  I bet I could do this on my own but it would be nicer to receive a bill totaled for my family...Just call me lazy....I want to send check but also need address other than freedom 5 in  Bakerfield

  I have a call in to Kathleen at the train station. She should be returning my call on Wed. So hold off. If you are going to the Labor day rally you could bring it then. I will have the amounts figured out by tomorrow night, providing Kathleen calls me back.
 
 Or like Brian said: "Just throw it in the mail, everyone know's my name"! On second thought lets just use the regular mail system if you are not coming on Labor day!
    I will PM you my address!

I forgot all about the train excursion, I need to talk to DH and see if we will be joining you guys. 2 adults & 3 kids = $54-10%=$49.60 - Is this the correct amount?  What exactly is included in the $49.60 price?  Does it include the bouncers, carousel and haunted maze or is it for the train ride itself?
 
 
BTW guys - Use Dee's phone/address list for Bob's address, it will save him alot of time E-mailing everyone. I've used it many times and think it's GREAT!!!!

 Hi there.
   Kathleen called me back today. She will be sending me the contract for our group. Hopefully it will get to me before we leave for our Labor day campout on Friday.
  Here is the break down of the price's for people. Now the dollar amounts are with the 10% figured in.
 Adults = $13.50 each.
 Youths= $7.20 each   The age requirement for youth is 4-12 years old.
 Child   = $5.40 each   The age for child is 1 to 3 years old.
 Infants under 1 are free because they will be on their parents lap.

 I read that you wanted to know what this entailed. It's just the price to go on the train ride for 20 minutes from Fillmore to their private pumpkin patch and back. We will be going as one group and will be on the 11 am train going out. You can come back on any train ride; at any time, till 3:00 pm.
  Food and drink are the usual prices for such out there. Don't know if the bounce house costs anything but will ask that very question. The prices for pumpkins out there start at $1.00 each but probably are the ones that fit into the palm of your hand. I will be bringing a brochure for all to see to labor day.

Hi all,
  What I am going to do is post on page 1 the amounts each family needs to pay. That will take some of the questions on how much do I owe away.
 It will be done in a little bit.

[BootheBunch]

Man!  I had your check written...was going to give it to you before we went to Knowlwoods...but decided to wait as I saw you climb into Brian's truck.  The check is sitting in my purse.  I will mail it soon...will wait to see if I did my adding right.  I think I came up with $40.40?

Just back in town after 23 days on the road with our Chalet.  Can I just pay for the train when we get to the depot?  Kristi hasn't been too keen on camping this year so I don't really want to pay for her seat if she decides not to come.

By the way, Melissa, Jason and I cooked and served approximately 1,000 sourdough pancakes last weekend.  I would be happy to add an option of sourdough to your pancake breakfast.  I'll even supply the top-secret toppings for the sourdough cakes gratis.

Having been to Fillmore numerous times with two small boys, I can tell you a thing or two about the train ride and pumpkin patch.  It's fun, the ride is short- about a mile on the other side of Hwy 126 and you end up in a fenced field. Most days, the best seats are the open cars.
I don't recall being charged for the bounce house, but there was a long line with a limit of the number of kids in it at one time. There was a hay bale maze that was fun, but really hot. A really rickety merry go round that you needed tickets for. Don't take your vegetarian friends for lunch. They only serve tri-tip sandwiches, hot dogs, sodas and water. (Better food and beer! comes from the restaurant a block south of the ticket caboose.) One pumpkin under 5 pounds was included. I got charged a bit for some decorative gourds that were also laying around. Bring a bag to carry the loot home in. I ended up juggling a pair of pumpkins, gourds and my boys off the train and into the car. Shade was in short supply when I went- hay bales were everywhere to sit on. Sunscreen and hats will be needed. The dining tables and chairs were the only covered places.

The train came at around 45min-1hr intervals, and if you don't want to be stranded there for another hour, you need to be in line to exit before the train arrives. They weigh your pumpkin, take your money etc. prior to boarding.

Be sure to add the following detours if you're in Fillmore. The town itself has a nice small town feel to it. On the east end of the park where you board the train is a cute ice cream shop. Nice looking wine place I've never been in too. Further east, there are some wood burning model steam train rides on some saturday mornings.  Back out on Hwy 126 (about 2 miles east), there is a fish hatchery on the south side of the road. Bring lots of quarters, and have fun feeding the fish. Lots of waterfowl live in view of the fishery on the west end. I think my kids end up having more fun here than with the trains.

If you're going to buy tickets, 'at the door' go early. Whatever event (Pumpkins and Thomas) I've been to, they were sold out for the day before noon. Pumpkins is a busy weekend for them, but it doesn't turn the town upside down like a Thomas event- 1-4 year olds and their parents- yikes! and I'm one of 'em.

I don't know if you still need help with the pancake breakfast or not???  Please let me know and I'd love to help cook,serve or clean up just let me know where I'm needed........Carol

[pop-up possee]

Hey Bob,

Dean is able to make it for sure now, so can I still order one more adult ticket for the train ride? Let me know.  I'll get a check mailed out to you once I hear back.  Also, congrats on the sale of your pop-up.  Can't wait to hear good news soon of a new trailer in your future.  Talk to you soon.

[BootheBunch]

We've stayed in Fillmore once...love the antique shops!!!  And, of course, we found a yummy Mexican food restaurant..and Bran is already talking about hitting it while we are there!!
