Halloween
Costume
Ideas:
Pink Shirt and a
table on your head = Chewed bubble gum
A pennant that reads “Go Ceilings” = A Ceiling Fan
Fake blood and a nine iron strapped to your head = Tiger Woods
Finally, the easiest costume to put on… A Nudest.
BOO!! Here comes the scariest part of the year, the end of
our camping season.
Well, here we are again. The camping season is winding down, the cold weather is on its way, and nobody is happy about it except Frosty. So what do we do? I’ll tell ya what we will do, we will boycott winter; not Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years, just winter itself. We will boycott slushy salty roads, frozen fingers and toes, and empty campgrounds and golf courses. We will look Jack Frost right in the eye and say, “We’re goin’ to Florida.” For those of us who do not get the pleasure of Florida for the winter, then we’ll just freeze our butts off. There is one aspect of the winter months that I do love, and that is football. There’s nothing better than watching a bunch of millionaires
beat the snot out of each other. Other things that I will enjoy this winter are sledding with the boys, shooting my guns, and of course… driving Dean crazy. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends for sharing this summer with us. There are some individuals I would like to give special thanks to for donating their time to help us with some of the events we had this year. Thank You to Larry & Kathy Brandyberry, Rick & Deb LeVally, Denny & Jacque Shoenleben, Randy & Paula Wheaton, Allan Wheaton, Kenny & Alice Everett, Ike Everett, and John Mote for helping us get all of our units to and from the fairs. Thank You to Ed Bruggeman and Rick LeVally for their help with the cornhole tourney. Thank You to Roy Steele
and Frankie Morrow for hosting our Karaoke parties. Thank You to Alice Everett for hosting bingo, and acting as our activities director. Thank You to Lee Perkins and Bill Conway for keeping the grass at bay. Finally, Thank You to Janice Werts and Ilene Conway for taking care of our customers in the camp office. If there is anyone that I missed I would like to thank you now because what makes this campground special is the people who work hard to make it that way. Have a great winter season, and don’t forget to keep up with the Chatter on our website, www.poorfarmerrvs.com.
Let’s Go Campin’!

“Of all of the costumes
that are available to kids
these days, the one
single costume that they
will absolutely have to
have is the one that the
other kid has; which is
probably the last one on
the rack.”
October 20th is the deadline to sign up for The Poor Farmer’s Annual Pig Roast which will be held on October 27th at 5:30PM. The cost will be a five dollar donation and two covered dishes; the five dollar donation is due when you sign up but the covered dishes you don’t have to bring until the pig roast. Please do not
Sign Up for the Pig Roast Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 2012 Antique Tractor Show & Flea Market was a great success. We had campers show up from all over and priceless treasures as far as the eye could see. Being that this is the first show where Dad gave me the reigns, I feel it went very smooth despite heavy rains on Friday, strong winds on Saturday, and an over-abundance of Michigan fans. The Antique Power Association had to cancel the truck pulls on Friday and the tractor pulls on

bring the covered dishes when you sign up, they will either get eaten or go bad before the night of the pig roast. The pig roast is a great opportunity for all of our campers to meet one another and share your winter plans. There will be an abundance of children in costume, so if you wish you may bring lots of
candy to pass out so that local dentists can keep their jobs. Now get into the parts store and get signed up for this once in a lifetime event.
Saturday, but they resumed with thunderous exhaust pipes on Sunday with the kiddy pull. My guess is that the kids had a bucket of fries before they pulled. They also had the antique tractor pulls and the rescheduled truck pulls, so all in all we still had a good showing for the pulls. We had a great turnout for campers, as most of you already know. I received many comments about visiting campers being parked in spots where we have not
had to park them before. Needless to say, I was inventing places to put campers, but we got them all in. Thank you to everyone who participated in the success of the show. It takes a great team to make an event like that go from start to finish without a hitch. One special thank you that I would like to extend is to team Craig for havin’ my back all weekend. It makes my job easier knowing that I have the full support of my crew.
Thank You to our advertisers for making
The Chatter free to everyone.

Steve and Patty Springer have owned and operated Poor Farmer’s RV for the past twenty years. They bought the business from Steve’s father Carl in 1993. Steve and Patty are two of the hardest working people that I have ever met. Their dedication to Poor Farmers is only shadowed by their dedication to their family and friends; many of which they would have never met if it weren’t for Poor Farmer’s. It feels weird to call them Steve and Patty. I have known them as Mom and Dad for quite some time only because they have treated me like a son for so long. Steve once told me that because I am the father of his grandson, he considers me family and I

am therefore “stuck” with them forever. It is out of an immeasurable amount of respect that I consider them more than just friends, but family. Now that I got that mushy stuff out of the way, I can tell you a little about The Springer’s. Steve and Patty are avid hunters; whether it’s deer, bear, moose, or fish, they love the great outdoors. They also love to camp. One of the reasons I’m here is to give them the opportunity to gather their friends for a camping trip or head down to Florida to deliver a new Coachmen Catalina to a customer (wink wink). Steve and Patty have been working very hard to build a successful business their entire family can make a living at. Now it’s their time
to relax and enjoy themselves without the stress of the day-to-day operations of the campground to get in the way. The official retirement party for Mom and Dad will be April 26-28, 2013. Get into the parts store to sign up for this weekend-long party. I am honored that Mom and Dad trust me to, not only take care of the business, but that they trust me to take care of their daughter and grandsons as well. From Andrea, Amy, Dean, Denise, Janice, Lynn, Brian, The Craigs, and Myself; We love you Mom and Dad, relax and have fun. You’ve earned it.

This month’s Site of the Month goes to Richard and Nancy Hile. The
front porch is made from concrete pavers and
comes equipped with a golf cart parking ramp.
The frontage is accented with black
fence, table and chairs, and swing. Richard and
Nancy should feel extremely honored because they have
earned the first site of the month that does not
sport a Coachmen product.
