Saturday was the day. The long awaited, by the kids, Halloween weekend with games, prizes, trick or treating and the wagon ride through the haunted woods. I think that the highlight of the day was the candy drop from an airplane. Sections were blocked off and the plane had to drop candy into each of these zones. Garbage bags were filled with candy and dropped from the plane. Over 15,000 pieces of candy were dropped from the plane. My neighbor and I estimated there were between 700 and 800 adults and children gathered to see this spectacular. And spectacular it was. When all the candy was on the ground and the OK given, a mass stampede occurred onto the field with adults and kids alike yelling and screaming to get to these pieces of gold that will eventually send one to the dentist. The scrambling lasted all of 15 minutes and all the candy was picked up. And as expected there were tears of joy by those who got an abundance of treasure and tears of sorrow by those who came away with little in the sacks. All in all I must say it looked liked this new addition to the Yogi Bear Campground in Plymouth, Indiana, was a hit.
Those who didn't get much candy at the plane drop certainly made up for it during the trick or treating hours.
At night you could smell the cooking over a burning fire and children running around like wild indians from the candy consumed during the day and night. My heart felt sorrow to those who had to try and put their children to sleep with all that sugar in them.
Until next year!!!!!!!!!
