>Lynchburg News and Advance – Lynchburg,VA – Bedford County campground owners, especially those around the popular Smith Mountain Lake, have found themselves victims of an overreaching county zoning ordinance. There’s no other way to describe it.
Mitchell’s Point Marina and Campground in Huddleston is a good example. It offers trailer sites for nearly 100 campers and their families. Those families – who have become regulars at the campground over the years – come from as far away at West Virginia and North Carolina to spend summer weekends relaxing near the lake shoreline.
Some of them stretch those weekends into longer stays, which is fine with campground owner Tom Buck whose annual leases allow guests to come whenever they want and stay as long as they want.
But that could be changing. Someone discovered that the Bedford County zoning ordinance restricts the number of nights those families can spend at the lake – or any other campground – to 30 per calendar year. The ordinance also requires campground owners to record the length of their stay.

>Fleetwood’s RV Group, a leading producer of recreational vehicles, announced today that legendary TV host Bob Barker and the Barker Beauties were proudly chauffeured to the 34th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in a Fleetwood diesel motor home. Stepping out of Fleetwood’s 2007 Discovery and onto the red carpet, Bob Barker made his way into the Kodak Theatre where he won two Emmy Awards, bringing his lifetime total to 19.
After 35 seasons on air, The Price is Right wrapped its final episode with Bob Barker on June 15 and will resume this fall with a new host. Barker had hosted the show since its premiere on CBS in 1972, making it the longest running game show in television history. To make his finale truly memorable, Barker presented contestants with the chance to win Fleetwood’s Terra LX 31M, the most expensive prize ever offered on the show with a MSRP of more than $100,000.
