Hello Everyone!!!!

As Wagon Master of this final 2008 Jamboree Event, I welcome all of you to join us at the City of Salem’s Massachusetts-- Winter Island Campground. The City of Salem does a month long event called "Haunted Happenings" and if you like Witches/Ghost’s &Goblins, then this Campout is for YOU…

Date: October: 16-17-18 & 19, 2008 (Thursday to Sunday)
Where:"Winter Island Campground"Costs: $105.00 for the 3 nights and 4 days
Contact:"Mike Tassinari"

Notes!!!

First of all: Do not contact the Campground (Contact Me) as I have already reserved and paid for all the sites in the Safari Field. Winter Island is run by the City of Salem and this
is only way to make this work and get everyone together…

Second: The weather can get chilly so we will not be doing any seminars at this event…

Third: As the Safari Field is small and has 15 Water and Electric Site's,we will need to double up on the 30 Amp.electrical service for each site..

Fourth: There will be a 50/50 raffel to help defray expenses...

Hello Everyone...

I have just finished negociating with a local Winery..They are located in Topsfield Ma. and are known as the "Alfalfa Farm Winery".
www.alfalfafarmwinery.com
Its about a 20 minuet ride from the Campground and I have 3 Cars available for transportation at this time..

For $5.00 per person you will get a Wine Glass to keep, and be able to sample the various wines they are pouring that day...Depending on how busy they are that day,a production tour or discussion of their wines may be available.

Hannah- the Sales and Events Manager for the Winery informs Me that 60% of their product is grown in the property..

This will he held on Saturday- October 18,2008 at 1:00pm
