The Latest from your Friends!
4th Annual First Day of Trout Season
This week brought a great deal of rain to the Trough Creek area but it didn’t dampen the spirits of our volunteers and dedicated fishermen. Despite the cooler temps and high creek water our trout season event was quite successful. We would like to say Thank You to those who visited our booth today. Recipients of the fishing rods are as follows: Theodore Heyser and Stone Singer. Those receiving the tackle boxes are: Tommy Devine and Caleb Achey. Recipient of the cooler donated to us by REI is Kevin Wenzel. Our secretary will contact those listed above.
Playtime!
After three years of fundraising our playground for the campground at Trough Creek State Park has finally become a reality. Our friends group is beyond excited to see it complete. We have had our obstacles to overcome but what a beautiful result! Our group has held first day of trout season events as a fundraiser and we have received some private monetary donations, however wood sales at the campground has been our primary money maker. We’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone who has helped to support our friends group. Your generosity has been very much appreciated. The friends group would also like to acknowledge and say thank you for the very professional job from Tanner Manspeaker of T&C Excavating and Trucking Inc. of Saxton for all site preparation. Last and certainly not least we want to thank park manager Joe Basil for his support throughout the project.
Attention Campers!
Firewood for Sale! Just $5.00 a Bundle!
Our volunteers work hard during the fall and winter months cutting, splitting and bundling firewood to be sold within the campground. The selling of firewood contributes to improvements made at both respective parks. Your honesty is greatly appreciated.
I’m sure many of you have noticed on your way to camp at Trough Creek State Park there are quite a few places to buy firewood. When you purchase firewood from our group 100% of proceeds are used to make improvements within the park. We appreciate your support. Thank you!
Upcoming Work Days!
Nothing to report, Stay Tuned!
