The slowest time at the campground is the busiest time for our maintenance team. From small painting tasks to major overhaul projects, crews are working double-time during the slower winter months to ensure Ocean Lakes will be in tip-top shape by the time the big crowds return this spring. Some projects – including replacing the wood on our iconic Observation Deck and installing concrete pads on a handful of campsites – already are underway. In January, contractors and teammates will start several more projects, including renovating the restrooms at the Meet n’ Eat.

Every year, organizers of Ocean Lakes’ popular Fall Craft Fair faced the same scenario: A long list of crafters craving to participate in the event that quickly sold out. So this year, the 24 th Annual Fall Craft Fair has expanded to two days to give all interested crafters a chance to sell their homemade items. “That way new people could get in,” said Salle Horner, Sandy Harbor and Recreational Activities Coordinator. “We always had so many people on the waiting list to get a booth, but we didn’t have enough spots.

The fair opens to the public at 4 p.m. Friday and noon Saturday. More than 100 crafters over the two days will sell homemade items such as wreath...
