Oh, what a beautiful weekend. Sunny and warm... and with the sweet
aroma of roasting meat wafting through central camp! It was fabulous. Many
thanks to all the volunteers who pitched in and helped out to prepare our
facilities ahead of time. And more thanks to those who spent days and nights at
camp roasting the pigs and preparing the feast. It was scrumptious!
|
Hungry folks just kept coming and
coming... |
|
The latest addition to our facilities is the newly
completed Roaster Shelter. Thanks to Dick Matheny's careful design and
supervision this open shelter gives us a whole new outdoor kitchen
area. With permanent roasters and a brick charcoal pit we really are
prepared to do the food up right! And it works great! Thanks Dick...
we love it!!

Thank You
Dick !
From all of
us.

Special thanks to all of you who came to Camp Tuscazoar and
camped... or just came and ate. We loved having you and appreciate your
involvement with our camp. The whole weekend was such a very special event and
everyone had a great time... even those of us who worked so hard to make it
happen.

That's Dick on the right supervising as Jay Ohliger and
Dana take a well roasted pig out of one of the two cookers. These guys
worked all night roasting pigs and it's no easy task.
|
 |
 |
Then Dick pitched right in helping Shane and Brian (yep,
that's me) clean that pig and prepare the meat for the next day's chow
line.
|
 |
It's no easy job and we did it over and over... it takes
a lot of roast pork to fill up our hungry campers and visitors.

Tom Duplain, Larry Groves and Eric Schoenbaum dish out
the goodies. (I was helping in there too, handing out the
baked potatoes, but someone had to take pictures.)
|
 |
 |
A late summer afternoon made the wait for dinner not too
tough to handle. Hungry Scouts lined the walkway to Kimble Hall, all
of them soon to be stuffed with hearty chow.
|
|
Later that evening Dale Tschantz, Tom Duplain and Larry
Groves (those are his arms) emceed the campfire at the amphitheater.
That "Baby Shark" cheer was great, Tom! We
didn't invite the 'skeeters but they were there anyway! Ouch, slap,
itch.

A special guest, Dan Fladung, a Native American
performer, put on a marvelously captivating show. With his authentic
trappings and instruments he enthralled the crowd and taught us about
Indian culture and tribal ways. Thanks Dan. Come back and see us. |
So this was our Saturday, and on Sunday we did the meal all over
again for our public fundraiser. Man, what a job! But we love it and we sure fed
some folks!! Thanks to all for such strong support and attention. Camp Tuscazoar
lives and thrives with the strength of our volunteers and the people who come to
camp and use it as it always was meant to be used.
We will "Keep the Spirit Burning" and we'll do
it with pride and care. (And if we can do it with full bellies we'll do it then
too.)
See you all next year! -TuscaBC
Dan Fladung's show really was terrific. If you or your group would
like to contact him for a similar performance you can email me at
info@tuscazoar.org
and I will put you in touch. We encourage his efforts to teach others about his
heritage.
