HALLOWEEN COMES TO YOGI BEAR




I know it is not time for spooks and goblins to roam the streets but this past weekend at Yogi Bear Camp Resort in Plymouth Indiana it was. Since the park closes on or about the 15th of October we kind of push Halloween a little early. This past weekend was the day. There were games, prizes, wagon rides, trick or treating and a haunted forest wagon ride. Starting at 9:30 there was a parade which kicked things off. Around noon there was a party (or lunch) of hot dogs, cookies, chips and drinks. A welcome treat for young and old. Later that day there were games with prizes and also door prizes were given out to the lucky winners. And of course there was trick or treating for all of the youngsters and some oldsters. As night approached and the wagon rides started you could hear the screams of frightened riders and the all familiar sound of a chain saw. Campers were decorated with spooky figures and lights casting an eerie glow combined with the glow of campfires throughout the campground.


My granddaughter Delaney was dressed as an army girl, uniform and boots while my neighbors son, Zane was dressed as a biker dude. Zane's cousins were also there dressed for the occasion.


Everyone could not have had a wonderful time if it had not been for the Recreation Department and the many, many volunteers that were part of this day. Many thanks to all of you.
