Outside is held the the weekend after Labor Day in September (Back on FOR 2021). It is held at Montgomery Bell State Park, where Ernest went to Camp. It is hosted by Robert Embler of Fort Campbell and many of his long time friends. There is music, revelry, sports, camping (for those who want to), and food thanks to one friend in particular and her spouse, without whom it would not have that homey touch. Arrival is anytime Friday after 3 pm and everyone must be out by noon on Sunday.
Since this is held in a State Park there is also water play available, hiking, and nature in abundance.
Our event features the following elements:

**Please note - The park now has a rule of no smoking in any of the buildings. So please take it outside. Also, please pick up your BUTTs. No littering.**
Add to that for next year and years going forward there will be a Sunday help clean up sheet. Robert is not getting any younger (sorry Peter Pan) and needs someone to check all bathrooms, clean trash from all cabins. Additionally ALL Campers are expected to make sure their on-site camps are put back EXACTLY as it was (mattresses propped, windows re-latched, floors cleaned up). We like this camp and wish to continue the tradition but can only do so if we ALL contribute to its upkeep.
We will also need to mop all bathrooms and the kitchen. Bob has enough trouble trying to get all his stuff offsite. He tows the food, fresh towels and all utensils, the cleaning supplies, the toilet paper, the soaps, the matts so you don't slip in the shower, not to mention curtains, as well as replacement bulbs and other items if they have not been done before we take up residence. He does a LOT so we all can have a good time. So please help, even if just a little.
