Just a couple of notes. We will again have our silent auction. Our sponsors have donated some very nice items,but, we need you also. Dig through you treasures :lol: . As most of you are aware, LEAKOIL does not receive any of the moneys for the camp out. Your payments go 100% to Erie county 4 H. The sale of t-shirts and other items and the silent auction are what support the cost of this web site, and the goodies that we provide including the free hot dogs and beverage all week end.

Just reminders,especially for those attending for the first time.

The 4H camp is located on Ward RD. which is off of Division ST.

Check in will be at the bottom of the drive on your left when you come into the Camp property. If the weather is not co operating,check in will be at the garage building as you enter the property. If you arrive late on Fri. and registration is unattended, please come by on Sat. morning to get your pass and goody bag. There is limited electric available,ask when you arrive. If you need electric for medical reasons,please ask when you arrive. Also,no electric heaters. More than 2 on the limited circuits will trip the breakers which are not easily accessible. We would suggest a propane "Heater Buddy",if you feel you need heat.

Please try not to arrive at the camp before Noon on Friday. If you are planning on coming to the Island prior to Friday. The beautiful Kelleys Island State park is at the end of division St.

There is a commercial ice machine in the dinning hall kitchen for our use.
Also a walk in cooler for our use. Please mark your stuff in the cooler.
4H will serve breakfast on Sat. and Sun. mornings (free)
Our pot luck dinner will be Sat. eve. 5:30 or 6PM
We have the use of the commercial kitchen on Sat. if you need to prepare you pot luck dinner.
At the conclusion of the pot luck,PLEASE, pick up your bowls pans or whatever. The volunteers will gladly run them thru the dishwasher,but you must empty any remaining contents and take them to the window.
At around dusk, the kids will be able trick or treat. You may want to bring treats,or turn off your lights and pretend your not there :lol:
4H does provide firewood. There is a large group fire ring at the beach.
If the weather is to windy,there is also a large group fire ring area up near the road.
4H asks that there are no ground fires,as mentioned in a previous post,raised fire pits are allowed.

The silent auction tables will be located in the dinning hall. If you are bringing an item to donate,you can drop it off there and fill out an auction sheet. We will also have a Chinese auction with items donated by our sponsors,also a 50/50 raffle,find John,or he will find you for the 50/50 tickets.
There will be FREE hot dogs available all week end in the dinning hall.

Pets are welcome. Please be a responsible pet owner. Do not let you dog roam unattended. PLEASE pick up after your dog and yourself.

The speed limit on the Island is 25 MPH. a speeding ticket on the Island will cost you more than your ferry and camping combined.
Speed limit on the 4H grounds is 5MPH. Please be aware of children playing all over the camping area. Reckless operation of any vehicles including golf carts,mopeds or others will not be tolerated.

When you leave the Island and as you leave the ferry boat lot on the mainland,there is a white "stop bar" painted on the pavement. Please come to a complete stop before entering the road. This may save you an introduction to the Marblehead police.

This event goes on rain or shine. the 4H facility is a great place if the weather
does not co operate. the dinning hall has a fireplace and plenty of room. there will be some activities for the kids.

Have a safe drive. See you on the Island

Just another note. as odd as it seems, YOU MUST TELL THE PEOPLE AT THE FERRY BOOTH THAT YOU ARE WITH THE VW GROUP TO GET THE DISCOUNTED GROUP RATE ;)

Watch for more updates.

Just a few last minute updates.

CAMPFIRES
4H prohibits ground fires so as not to damage the grass. raised fire pits are fine.
4H has provided firewood in the past,but at this time we are uncertain as to their supply.
You may want to bring some.

4H provides breakfast on Saturday and Sunday morning begining at 8AM till 9:30AM

Pot Luck dinner will be at 5:30PM on Saturday. PLEASE pick up your crock pot or other at the end of the dinner.

Kids will "trick or treat" after the pot luck,approx 7:30 PM Sat.

Please try not to arrive at the camp before 12 Noon on Friday.
If you arrive on the Island early,there is plenty to do and the state park is at the end of division street.

The speed limit on the 4H grounds for this event is 5mph watch for children.
4H has asked that we try to avoid driving on the parade field other than to get to your camp spot. Please use the road adjacent to the field.

The forecast is for some rain. For that reason, registration will be set up in the garage building as you enter the 4H property. ONLY VW camping vehicles will be permitted beyond this point.

We hope every one has a safe trip. See you on the Island.
