| 2008 RAMP RALLY IS OVER AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME, THE PEOPLE AT THE FESTIVAL, SHOWED A LOT OF INTEREST IN OUR SCOTTYS. I TALKED TO MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE THE FIRST DAY, AND EVEN THOUGH IT RAINED SAT NIGHT, WE HAD ALOT OF FUN. WE HAVE BEEN INVITED BACK AND THEY ARE GOING TO SET UP A SPECIAL PLACE JUST FOR US. SO IT LOOKS AS LIKE THIS WILL TURN INTO A YEARLY EVEN FOR US. Every year in April I attend the Ramp Festival in Mt Morris PA ,and sell woodcrafts. I use my Scotty to stay in during the festival and to set my displays in front of it under the canopy. The last two years my Scotty has drawn a lot of attention. People come up to me and say things like "My parents had one of those when I was growing up" or "I have not seen one of those in years". Needless to say this past year I think I had more attention paid to my Scotty than my crafts, but thats ok I enjoy people looking at the camper and talking about it. In talking with the people who put the festival together about the groups I belong to and the Scottys people have, they asked if a bunch of us would be interested in coming down during the 2008 festival and setting up our campers, for people to look at. I told them I am sure some would, Here is what is planned, arrival on Thursday, (festival is on Sat. and Sunday) anyone can bring down there camper and set up. We will be supplied electric, at the campers, and there is water , now there is no bath house, but there are porta pottys (come on we can deal with it for a couple of days, and they keep them extremely clean). For those of you who really need a shower, my house is 10 mins away, you are more than welcome to use ours. We would set up for free, and if you make crafts or food items , you can set up to sell no charge, now I donate to the group but it is not required, So here is what we get , a free campout, (campfire at nights included) free electric and water. free set up to sell and make a few bucks. The only requirement is you let people look at your scottys and talk about them, dont we all like to do that. so for more information contact me at dturner26531@yahoo.com or call me at 304-685-5244 whats good about this is at night we pretty much have the place to ourselves, to do campfire, potluck, and yes we can have some wine oh and if you have pets bring them There is live entertainment on all day Sat, and Sunday for more pictures of the festival I went to last couple of years click here2007 for more information about the festival and the park click here Morgantown WV is just a few miles away for shopping and there is some sites to see around the area, Thursday and Friday , you could go site seeing or shopping the festival doesn't start till Sat.
