Rick's Weekend - July 2005 You are invited to come and join us for the weekend of Friday July 8th to Sunday July 10th, as we camp at Ponderosa Pines Campground, route#114, Hopewell Cape, NB. This will be the first anniversary of Rick's untimely passing. We would like to be together at this time to reminisce and share old times and make new memories too. Please bring your families with you, as all ages are welcome. At some point during the weekend we do plan to visit Rick's grave site. However, there is not a planned schedule of activities. Just come and relax and plan to have loads of laughs and fun! The campground is a full service campground. It has an unsupervised pool; canoes,kayaks, and paddle boats ($4-5 per hour rental); pool table and ping pong table in the store with a few older video games; volleyball net; playground; hiking trails, and lots of trails for riding your bikes around. They are holding two blocks of sites for us up until June 24, and then they will be released after that date to the general public. As there are numerous ATV events on in this area that weekend, please do not wait to book your sites. We have no idea of the number of you that are going to be joining us, so maybe we will need even more sites?? BOOK EARLY!!!! To book a site, please call Kirk Sutherland at Ponderosa Pines and reserve
with a credit card. Tell him that you are with the group of Rick Russell's Friends.
