You know I am not sure. I was just a little girl then. I do remember that people came from all over the state to stay on the camp grounds. There were cottages that you could stay in as a family and also bunk houses for the boys and the girls to stay in. It lasted two weeks and they would have evangelist and preachers from all over the united states. The services would be held under a big pavilion with benches to sit on and sawdust on the ground. The music was beautiful and the sermons lasted well into the night. It is a wonderful memory, that is what I can remember.
