The Pig Roast was another hugh success--although bitter sweet. The
campers, motor homes and pickup trucks pulling utility
trailers started pulling in Thursday afternoon to enjoy a few days at
the Gillentown Trailhead. Then, we got a call from Ed Rovenolt that he
was involved in a head on collision--thankfully not hurt- After going
home for a few hours, then Ed get't a call that his mother passed away.
Ed did find a way to attend the event for a couple hours and then
returned home to take care of family matters. The Snow Shoe Rails to
Trails sends our condolences to the entire Rovenolt family.
Chris, Jim, Kyle Vangor and Joe Walters prepared the
pigs again with some great stuffing. (A big thank you to them for being
up all night so we could have a great meal.) Sara & Dave Bastian and
Carole & Charles Jensen sliced the meat from the pigs after Chris
Vangor was completed.
Ed Thomas headed the
parking and did a great job getting everyone in and parked in the
trailhead and overflow areas. A problem was that campers arriving early
parked throughout and Ed had to figure a way to fill in the blanks. --
Tuff job-- Colleen & Rich Randolph came early Friday helping out and
kept a watch over the vendor area. Tracy and AJ Shissler did a great
job selling 50/50 and raffle tickets. Bob Hile of Watsontown, Pa. won
the 50/50 raffle which his winnings were: $228.00. Eileen & Terry
Long handled
the clothing while George and Sally Holt and Eric Brooks handled the
applications. Erin
Cramers did her fine job of taking care of the money for meals. We did
have a little rain but not enough to keep everyone from having a good
time. The SSRTA wants to thank all of those attending the event as we
could not keep and maintain the trail without your support.
