I have a few minutes before heading to work - right across the street in the building above. This is one of our two Fall 'Thank You' weekends here at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres, New York. This weekend we are honoring Firemen, EMTs, Nurses and Teachers. It's so much fun making reservations for new visitors to these semi-annual events (every May and September), as they keep waiting for the 'catch'. No catch. For tenters, or those with their own RVs, the site is absolutely free. All rental units are 2 nights for the price of one. They fill up fast at those rates. Next weekend we'll be thanking Policemen, Corrections Officers and Active Military personnel.
The Zalkin family has been doing this for several years. It was originally on one weekend, but became so large that we had to separate it into two weekends. For the free sites, we only ask one thing - to let us know asap if you cannot make it as there is always a large waiting list of hopefuls who would like to get away for a fun weekend away from work stress. Heaven knows, after Irene and Lee came through this year, these weekends are a blessing for a two-day reprieve from the clean up.
Boo Boo Bear participated in the flag-raising this morning. It's a special part of our weekend here. In spite of the suddenly-chilly weather
