Well its the Craven Country Jamboree. It’s also the site of the largest collection of RVs in one area in the country…at least Saskatchewan. It’s a site like you have never seen, unless you’ve been there. There will be every possible type of camping paraphernalia. From makeshift tents to the most luxurious Motorhomes. Then there are the stars buses. They are worth millions. It’s all what you want to be comfortable in.
Our family started tenting, then we went to a tent trailer, eventually graduating to a travel trailer and now a fifth wheel. I love camping…in an RV. These are homes away from home. I especially like a camping environment where there is lots of scenery and peace and quiet. So, Craven isn’t really my camping cup of Tea. But now, that’s me. For those who go to Craven for the Jamboree, they want the luxury of staying right at the site with their friends and going back and forth to the entertainment. The RV is the safe haven for a little R and R. Its like going home. You lack nothing in these units. Television, microwave, TV, fireplaces, fridges, stoves, furnaces…you name it…they have it. many carry generators for the extra source of power to run air conditioners.
Conditions in Craven this year are a bit challenging getting your units in and out in the wet conditions. I remember when we first started the Big Valley Jamboree, as it was called then, out first year was a quagmire of mud. We dug drainage ditches, slogged through water and mud, parked vehicles, took tickets, mc’d…you name it. It was a challenge. But it was a fun event. To see what the Jamboree has developed into since is truly amazing. So to all those camping in your RVs at Craven..have the time of your life. It’s an experience you will tell fellow campers around a campfire somewhere on how you survived the Craven Country Jamboree in your RV.
We’ll talk to you from Craven on 620 CKRM!
