2012 NEWSLETTER

Howdy from Southfork,

It’s time to make plans for the 2012 Chuck Wagon Races. As always, we are updating our records and need your new e-mail and snail mail addresses and phone numbers in order to keep you instantly updated on our plans.

The camping, road and trail situation will be the same as last year. Enter through the ōf West gate and proceed to your reserved campsite. All connecting gates will be open between the SF and ōf Ranch.

Teddy Morehead will again be available to repair your tack and offer sound advice on select subjects. We plan to have great food venues again and Vickie is coming back to whip up her now famous breakfast. As of today’s date, Dan & Peggy are finalizing the race schedule to update their website at: www.chuckwagonraces.com.

We do expect a large crowd again this year. As usual, last year's campers have first rights of refusal. Primitive sites are $70 and electric sites are $130. **Port-a-potties will be $115 each and should be paid along with your campsite reservation. View our full price list here. Your site reservations and port-a-potty fees must be paid ON OR BEFORE July 15th. Please mail early enough to allow for mail time.

We changed our mailing address and dropped our home phone. Checks should be written to Southfork and mailed to the above new address to avoid being returned to you as undeliverable.

As in the past, please help us with cleanup by taking your trash with you when you leave. Aluminum cans may be left at your site if bagged separately. Hay, wood, rocks or blocks left behind should be removed from the fields & put in the woods near your camp. In this mailing we have added our campground rules for your review. CAMPGROUND RULES ARE MANDATORY NOT MERELY A SUGGESTION!

You may start your campsite cleanup on the weekend of August 11th. Camper and stock pens may be set up (daytime only) starting August 11th. Note: Our livestock will be left at large until August 24th, leave hay or feed at your own risk! At this time, we understand the ōf West gate will be open for campers at 8 a.m. Saturday, August 25th. (Verify gate opening on www.chuckwagonraces.com). NOTE: THE SF HWY 95 GATE WILL BE CLOSED FROM 6:00 P.M. THE NIGHT BEFORE UNTIL THE RACES ARE OVER.

Thanks in advance for your immediate attention to this matter and letting us know ASAP as to your plans. Again, if payment is not received by midnight, July 15th, your site(s) will be open for rent….NO EXCEPTIONS!

We’re sure looking forward to visiting with each of you again this year. See you soon!

Ron & Patty @ SF

**Toilet cleaning (Thursday and Saturday morning only) included with the $115 fee paid to us. However, all extra toilet, RV or horse trailer cleanouts will be $25 paid directly to Arkansas Toilets at time of service.
