Event Review
Bear Lake or Bust
WORDS & PHOTOS JOHN GUNNELL
A
new event called Vintage Trailerfest held in Manawa,
Wisconsin on June 1st – 2nd brought a host of
vintage trailers and hundreds of spectators to the
beautiful Bear Lake Campground Resort in the small
Midwestern village.
“We had over sixty vintage trailers signed up and parked
throughout the campground,” Emily Conroy, who works fulltime
at Bear Lake Campground, said: “It was great to have such
an immediate response, especially with this being our first year.
We didn’t know what to expect and to fill the campground was
amazing.”
Friday was mainly for setup and to give the vintage camping
enthusiasts time to meet and relax. The big day was Saturday.
