Manatee Springs Halloween Campout - October 28-30th, 2011
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:16 am
~ALL UPDATES WILL BE MADE ON THIS FIRST POST~
It's getting close to our Halloween Campout weekend and wanted to touch base with those attending. I'm waiting to hear from Ellen to see if she wants to do a pot luck supper on Saturday. If she doesn't have anything planned, we may just do a hot dog roast with side dishes. Update: We are doing a Hot Dog Roast Saturday. I think 5:30ish.
Since this is Halloween weekend, a few of us were planning on Trick or Treating the campground. We planned on walking or riding bikes Saturday night and giving out little treat bags. I've got the treat bags covered but whoever would like to participate, we ask that you bring a bag of candy, suckers, gum or or treats of some kind. We'll all make the treat bags up sometime Saturday.
Some people said they would have a costume. I don't have one but I am coming prepared with glow-sticks and glow-mask from the Dollar Tree. My bike will be ~~glowing~~
If any of you have suggestions, idea's or whatever, let's hear it. I'll be there late Thursday afternoon.
Looking forward to a spook-filled weekend with great friends!

Hi everybody!
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what we have planned. After talking with Ellen, we thought it would be a good idea to have a casual Hot Dog roast on Saturday night. Since I haven't camped in the loop we are all in, I don't know how big the sites are. Ellen has graciously offered her campsite for the Hot Dog roast. She is also checking on a covered picnic area in case of rain.
We don't want to make this a big pot luck supper so let's keep it simple: hot dogs, a few side dishes and a couple of desserts. Bring your own hot-dog roasting stick/fork and chair. What time would be good for supper...5:30? Let me know.
What we need/what we have:
Hot dogs: Gary
Buns: Jim
Condiments-Ketsup/Mustard/Onions/Relish:
Sturdy Paper Plates: Ellen
Cups: Jim
Silverware: Becca
Side Dish: Becca/potato salad
Dessert: We got some cookies
Marshmellows: Becca (I've got some GIANT ones!)
Soda:
A couple of other things - A few of us are going to put some Glow Sticks/Neclaces/Mask on, walk or ride our bikes around the campground and pass out treat bags to all the other campers. I've got a bunch of treat bags from Dollar Tree. If you would like to participate please bring a bag of candy/gum/suckers or whatever and we can put a few things in the bags. If you would like to help make the bags, we can all meet at 4:30 Saturday afternoon.
And, if anyone would like to carve pumpkins speak up. I plan on bringing a couple to carve out and light up for Saturday night.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you again and meeting some new faces! If anyone wants to add anything, please do!
