6 1:00pm Onan propane generator trouble shooting & repair Gary Whistler one of our esteemed seminar presenters, he has had an ongoing lovehate relationship with his propane Onan generator this past year. It will idle all day long with no issues and run with a load (A/C running) for about 30/40 minutes then the gen/set struggles and slowly shuts down. Mikee is pretty sure what s at the bottom of this problem as he experienced the same thing with his gen/set. We will get dirty as this is a hand on repair and a very good possibility we will have to remove the gen/set out of the R/V generator compartment. 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm Hot dog roast over an open fire Please join us at the fire pit behind the Campground pavilion and have some fun cooking your own wieners. Who knows - there may even be some of those famous Red Snapper hot dogs from down Maine. 6:30 pm ish. The bus from HersheyPark should be back to the Campground and they can partake in munching on a few Hot Dogs. 7:30pm to 8:30 pm Chocolate Fountain & Ice Cream Social Better have not stuffed too many wieners inside you as you need to leave room for the premiere event of this Jamboree. Chocolate Chocolate & more Chocolate. Not to mention that once you have had your fill of Chocolate there will be more chocolate as someone is going home with the last 5 pound Hershey Chocolate Bar. 7:30 am to 9:00 am Farewell Breakfast Sunday September Just when you think we could not give you enough chocolate events, come on down and try our chocolate chip pancakes.
