Harborfest Update from the Millers


Fuel prices are down what are you waiting for? Harborfest is celebrating its 25th anniversary and we are going to be there.  Will you? Go to www.oswegoharborfest.com for all the details, but Kenny Loggins headlines the music that covers classic rock,country, blues, jazz and big band. The first headline band will be Changes in Latitude, a Jimmy Buffet tribute band. For those that don't know his biggest song was Margaritaville  and they play right after our Margarita party, its liked we planned it that way. They have 4 tall ships and War of 1812 reenactments this year and we are working on one lucky rally attendee winning a spot on a tall ship.  New this year will be Gasoline Alley with displays by Watkins Glen International and The Oswego Speedway.
 We have 11 people signed up for the fishing trip on Friday morning and one opening left. If more than one signs up we will start a waiting list for a third boat. All you need is your food and drink and a NY fishing license. They provide all the gear and the trip is only $120.00 including the mates tip. 1 or 7 day licenses are available online or Walmart after you are there.
We will once again have tank pump outs available($20.00) and are looking into water. Sandy has returned from wintering in the west with enough tequila to supply the cocktail party and there will also be beer, wine and soft beverages. The fish fry is a complete meal this year with salt potatoes and cole slaw. If you do not eat fish and want to come we will have a few hamburgers. We will have pizza delivered by Cams Pizza on Sunday night. Our friend Janet has some crafts planned at Calico Gals and the Mayor plans to welcome us to Oswego on Thursday. We have some good door prizes to restaurants, museums and local merchants.
When coming to Oswego on Rt 481 you should stay in the right lane coming through Fulton or you will end up in a left turn only lane. As you come into Oswego follow the truck route signs and stay on 481 until you reach Bridge Street(Rt 104) and then turn right. Go to the third light and turn left on Ninth Street. Go to the end of the street and there you are.
If you are looking for something else to do on the same trip, the Northeast Area Rally takes place the week before Harborfest and its a great rally in Essex Junction, Vermont. That rally ends on Monday and we start on Wednesday leaving you one day to explore along the way.
There is already 35 units signed up for Wednesday arrival so I will probably be fishing more than once the week before if you live nearby or arrive early and want to fish Cayuga Lake let me know.
Cell phone numbers if you get lost or need more info are:
Jim 607-423-1747
Sherry 607-423-6318
We look forward to seeing you
Jim and Sherry
The Port Authority has said we can have more room if needed so invite a friend or bring the grand kids as there are lots of children activities at Harborfest. If someone need a sign up form let me know and I can send them one.

TWASN'T ARally


Memorial Day weekend is our usual first get together. This year we didn't have wagon masters. So, it was decided to "just make reservations" at Ives Run on Hammond Lake in Tioga, PA. That meant - make the reservation last Thanksgiving. 
It's a COE park with all amenities and many things to do.
17 motor homes made reservations, many arriving the weekend before. Of course, some of us didn't know the "secret loop" meaning we were scattered around the park. In spite of that, many folks rose to the challenge to make the week fun. 

Osprey Nest

  • Ed and Lee organized some golf outings. 
  • Howie, Pat, John, Carla, Shirley, Sylvia and Ed organized some great pot luck meals
  • Neena, Shirley and Sylvia organized some unique crafts.

It shows that if we don't have Wagon Masters, anarchy does not result and lots of fun things happen.
Everyone enjoyed a nice get together.
