Labor Day Weekend....


Labor Day Weekend....is when Happy Camp has the Bigfoot Jamboree! It's a fun time for a little community like ours; local folks form committees to create this year's festivities which start with a Friday night dance at the park, including food and craft booths and fun activities and another dance on Saturday, then a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning followed by the parade along the highway, and more activities/booths at the park on the river. Families and friends reunite on this weekend: kids who have moved away come back home to visit and enjoy, and a great time is had by all.

OUR 'kids' came to spend time with us...they came with some friends and enjoyed a camp out along the Klamath River. We got together at the Jamboree and also went swimming at a "swimmin' hole" near our house. Everyone had a great time. Pictured at the parade with Michael and me are Lathrop, his wife Kaydie [our granddaughter], and their kids in order by age: Keyari, Junior and Carmen.

Labor Day Weekend/Bigfoot Jamboree: come see us next year! :-)
