The event draws several thousand people from Maryland and Delaware to enjoy the day-long festivities. Camp Mardela, located on 125 acres south of Denton, also has a freshwater fishing pond and a swimming pond, and cabins that can be rented in advance. Holiday Park, on 200 acres northeast of Greensboro has a swimming pool, playground, convenience store, game room, weekend hayrides, tennis and basketball courts, and planned weekend activities. Lake Bonnie, south of Goldsboro, features a 28-acre freshwater lake for fishing, and swimming facilities. Not all Caroline's delights are hard to find.
Country stores offer a special thrill for antique browsers.
Many of these local shopkeepers excel in their familiarity with and inventory of 19th and 20th century glassware, pottery and procelain, country furniture, farm equipment and curiosities. A new addition to Caroline County's list of attractions is the Chesapeake Gun Club. The Club is located on a beautiful 700-acre farm on Maryland Route 312, seven miles north of Ridgely. Shooters follow an elaborate wooded course, stopping at designated points to pit their reflexes and coordination against fast-moving single and multiple targets. The launchers are so powerful that special clay pigeons of French manufacture must be used.
