Merry Christmas from Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center!
Growing up on a **small dairy farm in Minnesota**, Christmas wasn’t about extravagant gifts or long vacations. In fact, there were no days off—not even for the holidays. The cows still needed milking, the calves needed feeding, and the barn needed cleaning. But despite the hard work, my parents always found a way to make Christmas special.
I can still remember the smell of something delicious baking in the oven as we bundled up and headed out to do chores. By the time we were finished and cleaned up, the house was filled with warmth and the promise of a **home-cooked meal**. After dinner, we’d gather around and open a few gifts—most years, it was **new plastic sleds**.
Those sleds were more than just gifts—they were invitations to laughter and adventure. After opening presents, we’d bundle up again and head out into the **cold Minnesota night** for a few hours of sledding under the stars. It didn’t matter how tired we were from the day’s work; those moments brought us together and made the day magical.
### **The True Spirit of Christmas**
Looking back, I can’t recall most of the other gifts we received, but I’ll never forget the **smells of baking**, the **laughter at the dinner table**, and the **fun we had sledding in the dark**. Those memories remind me that **Christmas isn’t about the gifts—it’s about the moments we share and the joy we create together.**
At **Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center**, we carry that same spirit into everything we do—building memories, celebrating traditions, and bringing people together.
This Christmas, whether you’re spending it with family, friends, or your campground community, may you find joy in the **simple moments** that make the day special.
**Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us at Ka-Hoon Campground!**

4th of July Celebration at KaHoon Campground: BBQ, Fireworks, and Live Music!
4th of July Festivities at Ka-Hoon Campground
Yesterday, we hosted a fantastic community BBQ to celebrate the 4th of July. After enjoying some delicious food, we headed to the northern edge of the Mesa to catch a spectacular view of the fireworks. From this vantage point, we could see fireworks being launched in Los Lunas and Albuquerque, as well as smaller displays in Belen and Bosque.
Belen had already held their fireworks show last Saturday, so the crowd was smaller than last year, which made for a more relaxed experience. As we returned home, we were treated to a stunning natural light show as Mother Nature lit up the sky with her own fireworks over the Manzano Mountains.
Today, we’re gearing up for our 2-day 4th of July Celebration here at Ka-Hoon Campground and Event Center. We can’t wait to continue the festivities with all of you!
Stay tuned for more updates and join us for an unforgettable celebration!
