COSHOCTON – Ryan and Camille McPeek have taken Colonial Campground a long way from its days as a community pool.
“When I pulled in here I was reminded of coming here when it was a pool for disco dances and to swim, but they have made it way better,” said Amy Stockdale, director of the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce.
Stockdale was at the campground on July 10 to do a ribbon cutting for the event center the McPeeks recently added to their facility.
“We are super excited to have an event center of this magnitude,” she said.
The 1,700 square foot banquet hall can seat up to 170, has a caterers kitchen, bar and lounge area and handicap accessible restrooms. The McPeeks also have tables and chairs that they set up, white linens available, and can provide a sound system with wireless microphone, projector and screen.
“This building was just sitting here and needed something done with it,” Ryan said. “Everyone we talked to seemed to think it was a good idea to turn it into an event center for the community.”
The M Event Centre at Colonial Campground & RV Park is located at 24688 CR 10. For booking information, call 740-502-9245 or visit www.MEventCentre.com.
“Four years ago Camille and I had no idea that we were even going to be living in Coshocton, but we love it here,” Ryan said.
