Fall Update
Friday, October 10, 2008
It seems like no time at all since camp ended. Hard to believe we've had a trip to Schroon Lake and our staff have gone back to school in that time! We've been in contact with your counselors and have asked them to let us know what they're up to. We'll be sure to post any updates they pass along.
Here's a great picture of Wendy playing with a little, black kitten she has adopted as her own. If you were here right now, you would see her carrying her new "puppy" all over the camp.
Here's a picture of Grandpa Forrestel's wagon which used to be drawn by four draft horses. We thought it would be festive to decorate it for fall.
The Republican Party has asked Forrestel to host a Meet-and-Greet for Congressional Candidate Chris Lee. The event will Sunday, October 19, between 1 - 4. There will be pony rides, horse-drawn hay rides, hot-dogs, and even a big-screen TV to watch the Bills game. Anyone and everyone is welcome; entrance is free.
The remaining horses available for free lease have been posted on dreamhorse.com. I'm so thankful they're finding good homes so quickly - especially as they keep escaping from their pasture. Sarah goes so far as to kneel down and roll under the electric fence to feed in the soccer field. She then pitches a fit when she's readying to rejoin the herd and can't remember how to get back! I've been doing nothing but chasing horses for the past few days.
Finally, we're asking returning campers to enroll by October 15. Campers who enroll before then will be guaranteed a place at camp for summer 2009 and receive a limited edition Forrestel fleece. General registration will open after the 15th.
