It doesn’t matter what we do or where we go on vacation, it’s just important that we get away. According to Joe Robinson, author of “Work to Live- A Guide to Getting a Life,” taking a vacation is as important as watching your cholesterol or exercising. Americans forfeited an average of four vacation days each last year. Approximately 574 million vacation days were lost. Don’t let your vacation days go to waste.
If you are searching for a low-cost vacation, a couple of options come to mind. Did you know that Rock Springs 4-H Center offers family camping opportunities? Yep, the entire family can stay for a weekend and experience the “Spirit of the Springs”. Family camps are offered:
July 3 - 5
July 10 - 12
July 31 - August 2
August 14-16
September 4-6
You can decide whether you want to rough it in tents or pamper yourself in Leadership Lodge. Rock Springs staff will take care of the cooking while you enjoy swimming, canoeing, horseback riding and the other fun activities that Rock Springs has to offer. More information is available at http://www.rocksprings.net/.
Another fun option for a stay-at-home vacation is the Riley County Fair, July 23-27 at CiCo Park in Manhattan. There’s lots of fun things for the whole family to enjoy. You can see 4-H exhibits and livestock, take part in the pedal tractor pull, or enjoy food on the mid-way. On July 23, 24 and 25 you can catch a performance of the Kaw Valley Rodeo. The Ottaway Amusements carnival will be at the fair and offer $20 wristbands each night. You can also check out local talent at the Riley County Idol Contest, July 24-26 in the entertainment tent. Live local entertainment will follow the Idol performance each evening. For a complete schedule and more detailed information, visit http://www.rileycountyfair.com/.
Whether you decide to check out one of these options or one of your own, travel safe and enjoy your summer!
