Unfortunately we're already scheduled to be at the WG state park the week before. That said we'll do our part by having a bottle while we're there.

Sounds like a blast. As a semi-regular visitor to the Finger Lakes region (hey, it's not that far from NEPA,) we've done lots of winery trips up there. If I didn't already have trips planned for July, I'd be on this one--that's a pretty good deal for all that stuff. The dinner cruise will be very cool, I'm sure. Please post pics when it's over!

Finger Lakes Wine Festival, Watkins Glen, NY

I mailed a check to Deborah on March 24 to the exact address on her Reservation Form. Then I went on a trip for 4 weeks. When I returned, I found my letter in a stack of mail with a "Return to Sender; Not Deliverable as Addressed; Unable to Forward" yellow sticker applied by the Post Office.

So I sent an email to Deborah at "swansong82@juno.com" (on April 28) to ask what's up. No response. I sent a follow up email on May 6. Again, no response. Oh well, it looks like Lori and I won't be going to this one.

See you in Goshen!

UPDATE: I received a reply from Debbie this morning with her new mailing address. Registration is closed, but she has a site for me because she knew I was sending a check. So it looks like Lori and WILL be going to this one. :-)

See you first in Watkins Glen ... and then a few weeks later in Goshen!

That was what I wanted to know, if registration was open or closed.

Sorry Registration is now closed. Campgrounds had put a deadline on reservations at April 1 but we were able to get sites for awhile longer.

DW and I will be there on the 28th of July for 1 week at the KOA in Watkins Glen. We were there 2 years ago and came home with 200 bottles of wine so we are really looking forward to our return trip!

DW and I were also there a couple of years ago and we enjoyed the 4 tents of different wine samples. The tents were as long as a football field with different Finger Lakes Wineries. This weekend will be a busy and fun time. We are looking forward to meeting everyone At the Friday get together.

Your Hosts
Dave and Debbie

Dave & Lori, Glad everything worked out!!! Sharon did a "test-run" wine tasting with a group of girls to 10 wineries near Watkins Glen yesterday. I think she is allowed back in the area!!? We now have enough wine to last until the festival 😎👍🚍! Looking forward to seeing you guys and of course, the festival!!! Regards, Craig

Deb and I were in Watkins Glen this weekend to check on campgrounds and found out that there is a couple of sites still left in another area. Contact Deb at swansong82@juno.com if interested and we will see what can be done. We are looking forward to the FROG get together. See you all soon.

my wife and I are making the trip! you are correct when you say that there is not much correspondence on this, I was just mentioning that to my wife.

We definitely are looking forward to this trip, we are going to be without the kids, so it will be nice to relax and just enjoy the camping and the many out door things that this area has to offer. Not to mention the wine!

we live in Hamilton, ontario.
