This year we had the opportunity to attend and participate in the 2017 Downtown Christmas Parade!
The Chippy Express got all decorated for the big event with lots of Christmas lights, big candies, holiday tinsel, and of course the famous Chippy the Chipmunk.
The Chippy Express was featured in the Post Crescent and aired live on Channel Five news.

This upcoming November 8-11 Jim, Dawn, & Hannah will be attending the arvc OHCE convention in Forth Worth, Texas.
As stated on arvc.org website-http://www.arvc.org/Education/Outdoor_Hospitality_Conference_and_Expo.aspx
OHCE is your chance to join thought leaders, industry experts and hundreds of fellow park owners and operators in sharing your experiences as well as gaining more expertise through the educational seminars, networking events and Expo.
When you give your time at OHCE you return to your campground with a year’s worth of ideas, insights and community contacts, as well as help build a stronger community and industry. The Outdoor Hospitality Conference & Expo (OHCE) is the premier event of the RV park and campground industry.
Jim & Hannah have the opportunity to teach one of the seminars at the convention. Hannah received a full scholarship to convention from the Young Professionals Program. Evergreen Campsites & Resort is in the running for both plan-it green park and large park of the year!,
