Oh my gosh, I am a huge Jim Varney fan! My dad was, as well, and could do a spot-on imitation of the Ernest character. He always dressed (and acted) as Ernest P. Worl at Halloween every year. I really miss that and your post has brought back some sweet memories. I might have to attend this event next year!

I like the Ernest movies, don´t know how popular they are over here in Europe, but I watched a lot of them over the years and they were fun to watch, the actor seemed like he was a good guy. Lovely place, a lot of green and water, reminds me of my hometown, I grew up near a river and small lakes.

Thank you so very much for this deparure from the madness of everyday. Brother, your content keeps getting more diverse, and intertaining as you go along. Jim Varney was a National Hero who was loved by all. I have a brother that still to this day says " know what I mean Vern" . Love It. Father/Daughter time was refreshing to see, all else fades, but Family is forever. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

This video triggered a bunch of memories for me. I went to a one week summer camp at Montgomery Bell in 1986 and it doesn't look like much has changed in the camp area. But I never realized the movie was filmed there. Thanks for the information about this event. I will have to write myself a reminder to try to attend it next year. Also, I would have never guessed that we are the same age as you look at least a decade younger than me.
