Digital Scavenger Hunt - Friday, 1 pm
We are going to try it again the year. We didn;tWe kinda think the vanners didn't quite understand the rules, so here ya go.

• Grab your camera, cell phone, iPad, whaever digital device you have that can take pictures.
• Pick up the list of clues at the front gate.
• Go around the fairgrounds to find the items listed.
• Take a picture of each of those items.
• Winner is the one getting a picture of the most items on the list.

You will be given 2 hours to get as many of the items as you can.


Pet Show - Friday, 4:30 pm
We are going to have a Pet Show this year (in keeping with the theme), so bring out your puppies , dogs, cats, parrots, gerbils, sheep, whatever, (and your Puppy Truckers) and show up in front of the kitchen area and strut your stuff. I believe there'll be prizes for the Puppy Truckers, but don't quote me on that.

Other Stuff
We're going to have Bingo again Thursday afternoon. Larry & Garry are also going to do their Meet & Greet again on Thursday afternoon. So go win some cool stuff at Bingo first then mosey over to the NCBV campsite for the Meet & Greet.

Just like the last couple of years, we are going to have 2 bands on Friday night. Back-to-back with no band breaks. You can thank Jimbo for doing such a good job with that. He's out like every weekend looking for new bands so we can bring you the best entertainment possible.

As always, we're looking for clubs to donate beer for the weekend, as well as trophy sponsors. Dimples is in charge of both of those and you can find his phone # on the flyer.

That's about it for now. Hope to see all of you again in September.

You can download the Pre-Reg Flyer HERE!

We are missing some of you guys from past years so please help us out and get in on the fun - thanks! Get on the list by getting in contact with Dimples. For those already on the list - let me know when you want to man the taps and proffer your trinkets.

We are also missing some of you that have sponsored trophies in the past - again - not too late to jump on the bandwagon - contact Dimps for that as well.

Website is updated with the sponsors, the scavenger hunt rules, and the bands that are booked (thanks Jimbo) Thursday Night - Monkey Business - Friday Night - Dead Horse & Record Highs (again, back to back with no breaks) - Saturday Night - Girl Crew.

Some new stuff going on at the kitchen like a reduced Saturday Night Steak Dinner price - think we're going to come in under $10 - woo hoo! Friday night pasta special with Mike D's Hand-made Pasta (and there was talk about making it all you can eat). There's also talk about specialty Hot Dogs to go along with this year's theme (can't wait to see what they come up with for that).

For those arriving early, we are again going to have movie nights each night and anything beyond that you're on your own (still looking for a new ant movie). Thursday there's Bingo at like 1 or 2 followed by the twins Meet & Greet at 4 which you're definitely not going to want to miss.

Lastly, I've heard thru the rumor mill (Larry & Garry) that this may be the last Keystone so you're not going to want to miss it.

Anything else you need or want - you know where to find me - see you in a few weeks.

Keystone Kitchen Revamps the Menu

Always striving to better serve our fellow vanners, the Keystone Chefs are cooking up some changes for this year. The new and improved breakfast menu will feature real New York bagels. (No frozen cardboard rings.)

The Friday Night Pasta Dinner will feature Mike DeBlase's Homemade Spaghetti Dinner right out of our kitchen! Everything from scratch: featuring a generous helping of homemade spaghetti noodles and sauce with hand-crafted meatballs and Italian bread or garlic bread. As an added bonus - one trip through for seconds. All for the new lower price of $6. You may have had it - you may have heard about it - but you don't want to miss it. Friday evening 4:30-6:30 or until sold out!

We also have a price rollback on our legendary steak dinner. This year we are cutting the price by $4 per dinner to the 2005 price of $10. Our famous char-grilled Delmonico Steak comes with baked potato, Lancaster County corn on the cob, tossed salad (NEW ITEM) and all the trimmings, plus your drink! Yes! All for $10!! 50 tickets go on sale at 4:30 pm Friday night and 50 tickets go on sale at 6:30 pm. Only 100 dinners this year!

Finally, in keeping with our dog theme this year, we will offer a variety of gourmet hot dogs and sausages this year. Watch for details. Thanks!

(This latest Keystone Kitchen news comes directly from Chef Tommy!)

As always I look forward to this run. One of the best. If you are not there, you do not know what you are missing.

Truly a great event. I hate to have to miss it this year. It sounds like it's going to be even better this year.

Woof. Woof. Come one everyone. Get the dogs out and get ready for Keystone.
