TRF Campground Open House this weekend! Sun Sept 30th

[Breandan]

Word we got from Mike is that no further improvements are planned at this time, and the phase posters in the quicky mart are basically pipe dreams. So, what you see is what you get for the foreseeable future.

As for participants in the campgrounds, in over 20 years of working there, TRF admin has always discouraged participants from going to patrons (for reasons ranging from "because we don't want to break the immersion" to "cause I said so", the former being a complete crock since the giant Miller Lite sign they had on the front gate for some time and the current Budweiser murals and ads do a helluva lot more to break immersion than participants spending time off-the-clock with their friends who already know they work there), but I have never seen it enforced. Generally, it is in the Participant's Handbook to use as a pretext for termination and/or pass revocation if a participant goes out to patrons and does something stupid, but is not actually enforced as a draconian restriction. That being said, if they are driving out to patrons they will still have to buy the camping pass for their vehicle. Most of us just walked it, but if you're hauling a lot of people or plan on going to a restaurant or the like you'll want a vehicle, and thus need the camping pass

thanks Breandan.BTW it was really nice meeting you Sunday as well as Lady Jessica and the others.

As for the improvements to the campgrounds I like what has been done. I can see a few minor glitches that may occur but I agree they will smooth out and improve as people get used to the new set up. As for the other phases I can not say that I am sorry to hear they are pipe dreams.. management needs to keep in mind this is TRF not disneyland!

What did the other phases entail?

[Valeria Skyye]

Best way to explain is to just post a pic of the PHASE 3 Map. You may have to save it so you can zoom in to read all the words and see exactly what all is there.



There is Premium camping sites, delux camping sites, a LOT of RV parking sites and only about 35 regular camping sites and also a LOT of fututre cabin sites. Its a bit much in my opinion and would take away from the feel and atmosphere of Fair as it has the feel of being too comercialized. I even heard rumor of a Bar.

[Mouse]

Aye carumba....I thought there was a bar..I saw a picture of the mart and below there was mention of a bar in the captioning...

[Valeria Skyye]

I heard talk that they were palnning to have a bar where the mini-minimart is in the regular camping area but there was no bar there currently. They did have a food trailer there though

Apparently the mini-minimart (across the road from the fire circle, next to the food trailer) will be selling alcohol.  (The mead was pretty darn good!!)

[Mouse]

I heard that there was a new liquor place just up the road as well, yes? Coming from Plantersville? I don't know the roads by name yet...I know Magnolia way and Plantersville way...it's my process.

[Bonny Pearl]

Yep, a bar right next to the new bbq pit and I think a medic or police bldg lol.   Wi-fi from there as well.

I am not sure about a new liquor store close by, perhaps someone can chime in on that.  I know that there is one by The Yellow Retriever on 1488.  It is just outside of the city limit, The Silver Dollar I believe it is called.

ok. well  i guess i will just have to behave in patrons  . i know of one worker that camps every weekend and has no trouble. no way i am missing the one weekend my clan will be out there.

I have seen the "no participant" rule enforced at least twice. However, those people were idjits & were just asking to get busted. Me, I wear my cloak of invisibility & keep my mouth shut.

These are not the rennies you are seeking.....

...where is that elusive "like" button?...
