Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay RV Resort members and guests stepped up to the plate Labor Day weekend to lend a hand to the flooded and distressed victims of the hurricane in Texas, raising a total of $1,625.25, according to Sandy Corker, recreation director at the Dutton campground.

Music starts each day at noon and goes through 10:45 p.m. Single-day tickets are $20 for Thursday, $3...
