CRWB Shirt Tales!!

                  

 CRWB  SHIRT  TALES  2015

Hello CRWB!

I was just finishing putting away some of our Christmas decorations when I turned and realized it is already February! I know I say this each year but how did we already blow past Christmas, New Years, all the Presidents Days and Valentine’s Day? Just in case we take another leap I want to wish you all a “Hopppy” Easter, memorable Memorial Day, great Graduation, Happy Anniversary and Birthday. I hope this covers most everything thru at least June. Not wanting to slight anyone I have it covered with this:

Happy (you fill in the blank) to you! Feel free to celebrate what you want with our sincerest best wishes for your “whatever”.

We have had a lot of ups and downs this past year. We hear of illnesses (feel better Marv) beautiful new babies (Andrea & Tasha) and we all miss Yvonne, Roberta, Laurie and our Matriarch Billie Corkill. We have asked Steve Watson to include Aunt Billie within our shirts this year. We look forward to seeing what artistic mastery he creates for us once again.

So let's dust off the camping gear, kick the tires, place your shirt and rodeo ticket orders and get your eligible  kids signed up for the mutton busting!

Don't be like me and turn around and its May already!

We are grateful to Frank and Christa for allowing the CRWB to camp at Poeville. We thank you for all your hard prep work to make it happen. For 2015 the lake is once again open to us. Don’t forget to make your camping reservations on-line with the county. Although most of us camp rural we appreciate some of you booking actual sites so we can secure the area. We will keep you informed when the Colusa County site becomes available.

I must mention that 2014 Rodeo weekend was an amazing surprise. With the lake closed, Squaw Creek not available for food, store or bar, sketchy weather and limited space you made it such a great event. Camping close made for more visiting and comradery. Loved loved loved having a genuine pig roast, all our crazy games and shoes, the Corkill family reunion, night time glow stick Frisbee, the parade and costumes, our mutton busters and of course all of you. The show of support for your CRWB was heartwarming in a year of uncertainty. The following were some of the highlights of 2014.

We had lots of help and that’s what it takes:

Jay and Harriet, our shirt orders & Cinco de Mayo cooks

Steve, shirt design
Lance, again for your creative games and shoe coordinator
Jud, fake out voice of the tourney
Christine & Amanda, organizing kid’s games
Rosalyn, awards certificates
Tony, bringing & cooking pig for entire CRWB
Mark & Liz, outstanding 50/50 sales
Gary & Arlene, recycle
Roy, wood to keep the home fire burning
Christa, Web & Facebook page
Jimmy & Christine, CRWB costume accessories & parade banner
Barb, DI, music & routine expert, annual meeting co-partner/organizer
Jack, Truck Stereo, candy, drink and kid carrier for parade

Plus many more but one last for sure…

Maddy, for sharing her safe place with all of us.

Amazing News we had to share....Newsletter coming soon!

 

Hello CRWB!

We already have the newsletter ready to send but need a little pricing information to finalize. But, we have some amazing news we just need to share....

East Park Reservoir is FULL all the way to the picnic tables!! Unless some unforeseen obstacle occurs we are camping at the lake! Yahoo! 

There is a County board meeting on the 24th to finalize camping costs but Mike Azevedo from the county provided the preliminary fee's.  They have agreed to keep the lake open and run it year round but they have the cost of maintaining roads, bathrooms, trash removal and paying rangers that need to be covered. I wish it were still free but we had a good long run of open camping. We are excited the lake will be maintained with future improvements to come like running water. No more waiting at the gates for sections to open. They are shooting to open for the season by end of March or early April.  For more information on camping costs, please follow this CLICK HERE

Mike has asked that we be patient with them because its new for them too. It may take a few seasons to get the bugs out but  I am thrilled we are able to continue on with the lake. Oh, Christa and Frank, if its raining ever, I need you to keep the campfire burning cause we will be back...

All reservations are web driven or can be done at the kiosk at Squaw Creek (yes he is open) and in Stonyford. They ask that we stay on the honor system but spot checking is necessary for other groups who may sneak thru. 

Preliminary Fees (residents are 50% of all fees but must be present at the site)

Day Use Only                $8 per day

Annual Day Use Only Pass (unlimited days)        $100

Unassigned Camp Site  (no tables or fire ring)                $ 15 per night

Assigned Camp Site  (tables and fire ring included)       $ 20 per night

There are 3 group camp sites:

Chisam
Hole in the Wall
Coyote Cove 

They each rent for $75 per night and are limited to number of people. None are in the area we currently camp in. 

The last years we have been camping at Coyote Point and spreading out. Many of us camping with our own tables etc. Mike and I are going to reserve our spot at the point but take one of the tables to ensure other groups will not. If a few of you would do the same it would help. Also the tables going up the hill are good too. Then you can camp filling in the gaps.

If you feel you may have a hardship because of the fee, please take a moment and contact us so we can work something out. We want each and everyone of you there. We are family.

Lastly, some of you went to the County of Colusa site and signed up for news updates regarding the lake. We encourage you all to do this. When you get to the county site, type in Parks and Recreation. You will see East Park Reservoir Camping. As you read it it asks you to click "here" to be updated. They ask for basic email information and you will be alerted to when the site will be open for reservations and any new updates.

As of today, the site will be open Apil 1st. At that's no joke...

Newsletter to follow shortly!

C'ant wait to see you all!

Sue
