Largest amount of tipis in 0ver 10 or more years...Thanks for coming to the camp. A wonderful thank you to Steve Gagne for his help in getting "things" done for me...the FIHA committee that made sure I was "happy" all the time including the Paramedic who came to my aid, and all those who braved the heat to set up their tipis and the McGrath family that brought three lodges. Hope to see you and more next year at the tipi camp and Saturday morning breakfast.
Winners of $200.00 each:
Jim "Bear" Ares of Prot St. Lucie, Fl
Tony Cox of Palm Bay, Fl
David Helms of Port St. Lucie, Fl

Tipi competition will have three first place winners with each getting $200.00. This also depends on the number of tipis present and set up.
Tipi competition is Saturday 12:00pm. This gives you time to have material in crafts competition.
Set amount of Gas money will be provided for tipis.
All owners must live in their tipis and not tents, trailers, hotel rooms or a house nearby.
Tipis will be set up in the Tipi Camp to be in the competition.
The head judge is Linda Holley and in charge of tipi camp.
No Modern tents in tipi camp area.....shade awnings will be placed behind or to the side of tipis.
Cars will be moved to a side area designated for the tipi campers.
Competition for tipis will be based on the style, type and what the owner says they are trying to portray in their tipi.
Sign up for competition before Saturday.. Registration papers can be obtained from Linda Holley. Check in at her camp...you will not be able to miss it. Hopefully it will be a 17' tipi...yellow top, baby blue bottom and turtles. Lots of dangles too. If not the colorful lodge...the 12' white very plain tipi.
Set up is Thursday...but we were originally told Wednesday for those who want time to see the Orlando, Disney area. Check with me to make sure.
There are some other planned events for the tipi campers...as time gets nearer...check with this site for a more complete schedule.
Take down......Sunday. Knowing that the dance is still going on till 4:00 Sunday...you guys have more to put away and get on the road...so this is up to you.
Any other questions...email...me at tipisholley@yahoo.com
