October 2015 Newslatter

Fall in Florida...


The weather is cooler and our winter guests will be arriving daily.  The RV Park will be FULL very soon.  The arrival of more RV's means there will be more cars and trucks in the RV Park needing space to park.  Please do not park your vehicle on the empty sites.  Large trucks must be parked in the back of the RV Park across the road from the RV's.  Small boats on trailers, small utility trailers and tow dollies may also be stored in the RV Park if space is available.  Please be considerate when you park or place a vehicle in the RV Storage and do not block the exit for others.

Laundry...


With the arrival of new guests, our laundry facilities will be very busy.  When you place laundry in the washers and dryers, please make sure to remove it at the end of the cycle as other may be waiting.  Remember to clean the lint filter on the dryer after each load as it makes the dryer work more efficiently.  When you are finished using the laundry, please remove all of your laundry and laundry products and make sure the washer and dryer are clean and ready for the next guest. Report any malfunctions to the office.  All machines take quarters only, if you need quarters, they are available at the office.



"Coffee with Friends" is back...
Aripeka West's "Coffee with Friends" will begin on Wednesday October 21st at 9AM.  This event is open to everyone and you will find something different on the Buffet every week.  There is always coffee, juice and something good to eat.  Please remember that your "Coffee Donations" make this weekly event possible.  Prices of coffee, bacon, sausage and eggs have gone through the roof and to continue this event as it has been done for the last 5 years, we need your donations.



Columbus Day...

We all know about Christopher Columbus, heck, we learned it in school!  Remember this one?  



In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.


He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.

He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.

A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.

Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.

Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.

Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.

October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!

"Indians!  Indians!"  Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.

But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.

The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.

Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.

He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.

The first American?  No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.


Corn Maze Fun...


Sound like some Fall fun?  There are two corn Mazes in Hernando County, one at Sweetfields Farm and one at Havestmoon Farm.  Addmission is between $10 and $12 depending on which Farm you choose. Harvestmoon Farm is even having a "Flashlight Maze" this year on a couple of Fridays if you are not scared of the dark! 


Visiting SunWest Park...


October might be a great time to visit Pasco's new SunWest Park!  The days are a little cooler and the crowds during the week should be light.  If you have been there tell others, if you have not been ask those who have.  Parking is $5 and swimming is free!  There are charges for other attractions in the park.


Halloween Spooktacular 2015...
