June Update...

June is here, and SUMMER is just around the corner.  And what better way to celebrate than to come camping at the KOA?  

Not only is the weather here beautiful during these early summer months, but the local area offers LOTS of fun activities and events for the whole family.  

From June 4-13, Thomas the Tank Engine will be at Tweetsie Railroad - Take a ride on the Thomas train, and be sure to bring your Engineer's hat!  Check out Tweetsie Railroad's site for more info

Summer in Boone also means the beginning of the Horn in the West season.  This famous Revolutionary War era outdoor drama began in 1952 and stars around 50 cast members.  

This is a must see during your stay here at the KOA.  We also now have discounted tickets for both children ($7) and adults ($11).  

The 2010 season runs from June 18th to August 14th.

Check out the Horn in the West website for more info.  Also, see their Wikipedia site.

June is National Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Month, and the best local fruits and veggies can be found at the Boone Farmer's Market!  Started in 1974, the Boone Farmer's Market offers everything from fruits and veggies to locally made cheeses to gardening plants, and more!  Saturday mornings to noon, or Wednesdays 3pm to 6:30pm, Rain or Shine.  Conveniently located only 5 miles from Boone KOA.

June 19th -20th is Father's Day Weekend, and here at the KOA we're offering Dads a free round of mini-golf, just for being so great.  So pack up the RV or tent, head this way, and show Dad just how much you care!  :-)

June is also National Great Outdoors Month, and some ways we've decided to celebrate is by sprucing up our garden and flower beds, adding more swings to our playground, and offering more outdoors activities for kids.  Why not do a scavenger hunt instead of watching TV?  (The KOA staff always has scavenger hunts readily available for any eager hunters that come along.)

June 12th is National Get Outdoors DAY 2010.  In celebration of this nationwide event, a KOA staffer will be leading a hike through the local area to encourage healthy, outdoor fun!  This annual event is new to the scene and is a great way to promote an active lifestyle!  Check out the National GO Day website for more info.

And now, some June quotes to wrap things up:

And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days. - James Russell Lowell

Spring being a tough act to follow, God created June. - Al Berstein

It is the month of June,
  The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
  And pleasant scents the noses.
