Thread Name: 2002 - So how was Camp Harmony?
Subject: RE: So how was Camp Harmony?
This is our 27th year at Camp Harmony and we generally concur with Radriano but somehow we managed to avoid most of the rain. It just turned out that way. We were in the shower (by popular demand) during the first big downpour and in the above mentioned workshop extravaganza during the second one (which is reported to have included some hail) so we were forced to just sit there and sing and drink ale until the rain stopped. During the third drenching we were singing a capella songs in a cozy room with a toasty fire going and were trapped there until after 2:00 AM. Damn!

It got a little (OK, a lot) muddy at times but we had a wonderful time. We're both a little hoarse and sleep-deprived but are well on our way to recovery.

The evening signup concerts were great. There's an amazing array of talent that attends this campout including about a half dozen choirs which assembled spontaneously at camp and learned one or two songs to perform, a mummers play, an accordian duet, and at least one hurdy-gurdy player.

Other 'catters present included Joe Offer, Riggy, (blessings) Barbara and EADGBE (Ray, that's not right, is it). Maybe we'll hear from them, too.
