This gathering takes place on October 16, 2004, the right time for fall colors! PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE DISCRIPTION! It will be held in Letchworth State Park in the same Pavilion as last year. There is a large parking lot and there are restrooms near the Pavilion. TO VISIT THIS CACHE PAGE AGAIN USE ZIPCODE 14530.
The park opens at 6:AM and Closes at 10:00 PM. There is a $6. entrance fee per car. If you want to camp in the park call 1-800-456-2267 or Highbanks Tent and Trailer (camping) 237-3303. There are other campgrounds outside the park as well,in Mt.Morris, Perry, etc.. There are strict regulations regarding pets; short leash, proof of shots, etc. Pets are PROHIBITED from all park buildings including the pavilion, cabins, cabin areas, and pool areas! The pavilion, South Highbanks is near the Mt. Morris entrance in the area of the North Swimming Pool. It has a capacity of 184 people, there are 23 tables. There are 8 grills in a covered vented area attached to the enclosed pavilion. There are only 2 electrical outlets, 1 in the cooking area and 1 in the enclosed area, which is used for coffee; both are high up so short cords will not work. There is running water just outside the pavilion. There is a huge fireplace inside at one end of the Pavilion, we need to bring our own wood, and we now have 5 bags of CHARCOAL with 1 starter for cooking. ATMouse will bring junk wood to burn not cook on, Avroir will bring charcoal starter fluid. There is a large play area and playground equipment for kids. We could do breakfast as well as lunch, any takers? (We have one offer of donuts, coffee & creamer)) Lunch will start around noon, get there with the food earlier. It will be a "Bring a Dish to Share" type picnic as before. You will be expected to HELP COOK MEAT FOR YOUR OWN FAMILY.
