Friday, November 4, 2011 Participants are invited to attend a set up evening at Trail Camp starting after 4:30. This will be an interactive evening with ice breakers, pictures from trail days of yore and practice for the Saturday night show. Food will be the responsibility of each participant. This will be a way to be at Mockingee early for the Trail camp without a drive on Saturday morning. However, most of the camp events will take place Saturday and Sunday.
