Greetings Groovers and Grovers and everyone else that has stumbled upon on small Grove publication here on the Internet. Despite the rain (torrential), Skyway is packed to the gills...fish pun intended, and the July 4th weekend activities are in full force throughout the campground with The Grove no exception.
In the tittering news department, the entire camp is buzzing with the news that two more bears have been sited in the community. As with all news of this nature, the bears get BIGGER with each telling of the news with one Grover reporting that the bears in our area can weigh up to 2200 pounds, and reach heights of two stories! WOW, that would be ONE TALL BEAR!
Our neighbor Don had a snake in his wood pile...a quick check on the internet confirmed it was a harmless brown snake just looking for a comfortable place to hang out here in the Grove...hopefully no extra charges will be accessed for this additional visitor on their site.
The annual July 4th Golf Cart and Bike Parade was a ROARING success...some campers claimed up to 300 carts were in the parade, but the real number was closer to 20, though not sure any one kept any official tallies on those who participated. The big event of the weekend starts on TOP OF THE HILL at 3PM, and is slated to run late into the evening...yours truly will be starting his cooking at around noon today.
The Grove Tiki Bar was a hot spot of activity last night with lots of great food, drink and conversation...our neighbors on an adjoining property were even kind enough to provide us with a mini fireworks display from 9-10 PM, though to really enjoy it we need to greatly thin out the forest. (Might cut down on bear sitings!) We did though enjoy the booms, and the few fireworks that made it up over the tree line.
For those who are reading this blog, email boomerville_news@yahoo.com to be brought into the conversation on holding our own event down here in the Grove...tentative plans see it being called the Annual GroveFest, and it would be held in late August or early September as an annual event with everyone invited.

One last note...if Dave happens to stumble across this blog, maybe he can email us pictures from the parade so we can post them up for all to see!
