Connecticut Campers Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Annual RV Jamboree & Campout at the Terryville Fairgrounds!

October 27th, 2008.

The weekend of September 19th-21st celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the RV Jamboree & Campout at the Terryville Fairgrounds, sponsored by Hemlock Hill RV. This annual event brought together hundreds of camping enthusiasts and friends to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Connecticut .

The RV Jamboree & Campout is a weekend of non-stop activities, including BINGO, a bike rodeo, live bands, food and fun! Last year’s fundraiser brought in over $36, 000, a portion of which “adopted” the wish of young Dylan from Milford , who dreamed of going to Walt Disney World®. Dylan’s family attended this year’s Jamboree and shared memories from their unforgettable wish experience. 

Event coordinator Ray Andro, who owns Hemlock Hill RV in Southington , has made the Jamboree possible for the last ten years.  The 10th Anniversary was another successful year, with more dedicated campers and volunteers who continually come together to make wishes come true for Connecticut children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Thank you, RV Jamboree & Campout Supporters!
