This has been a stellar event--organized by Glampers Lydia, Kimberly Joy, and Kara. Friday afternoon, Michelle from the DNR gave a wonderful and delicious demonstration on Dutch oven cooking. We sampled a mushroom-honey goat cheese-sundried tomato appetizer (I think it needs a shorter name), pizza and a s'mores dessert.
Friday night was a showing of The Long, Long Trailer and Glampers were encouraged to dress for the occasion. There was a great selection of 50s housecoats, pajamas , and robes--even a few curlers. The sound wasn't optimum but as Butch says, you really don't need a soundtrack for that much slapstick.
Saturday, we enjoyed a visit from my college roomie, bridesmaid, and long time friend, Mary Howard. Mary joined Butch and I on a visit to a few of the "Junkin' in June" sites in Boone, as well as a visit to there bookshop. We returned to make preparations for the evening's potluck.
After supper, the Glampers were in full glory as they initiated new members and the organizers rallied the group for Lucy-type games. First we donned chef's hats and formed an assembly line to dip marshmallows in a chocolate fountain, then in sprinkles, wrap in cellophane, and tie with ribbon. Team Susan stomped the competition with techniques and expertise that would have made Lucy and Ethel jealous.

Next, a modified version of the grape-stomping episode found us trying to remove grapes from a wading pool with our toes, and despite very strict rules and supervision, it soon disintegrated into a grape throwing contest. Sometimes Glampers are hard to control.
This weekend was also a media event to rival Donald Trump, with Outdoor Iowa Magazine arriving for a photo shoot Friday morning and the Boone newspaper Friday afternoon. There was plenty of material with the vintage clothing, glamped-up campers, and the wildlife.
