HIPPIE HAPPENING IN HARPER! There is going to be a 40th anniversary "hippie happening" in Harper the first weekend in May, 2008. FORTY YEARS! Bring your guitars, camping gear, GRANDKIDS, wear your old hippie clothes, and let the good times roll again! Like the old days, whatever happens happens...nothing structured, nothing planned! Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Bring your friends, sleeping bags, food and music! We will gather in the vacant lot west across from the post office in downtown Harper. You may camp on our vacant lot east of the fire station. These are private properties of The Balmer Fund, the nonprofit organization that now owns Rosalea's Hotel, aka Patterson House Hotel. The purpose of this weekend event it to raise funds for the restoration of Rosalea's Hotel as a "hippie museum"! The hotel is NOT fit for habitation at this time (has a good roof, now) but we are seeking a couple of gentle volunteers to help clear out the lobby for gathering that weekend. You must be able to follow instructions precisely as there are collectibles to deal with. We are also seeking a couple of volunteers to oversee our yard sale for us on Saturday. If you have any special hippie trinkets bring them along to swap, share or donate to the museum.
If you have questions, send an email to rosalea@priarieconnect.com Or call after 7:00 at 620.896.7566. Tell your friends!

Rosalea -
You were my inspiration back in the 80's, my muse.
I'm saddened the hotel is not up and running but am glad you still own it.
Sometime I hope to get up to Harper and meet you. <3
