Dallas DownRiver Club formally invites you and your family or friends to help us haunt Goat Island on Friday Oct. 28th thru the 30th. Camp will be at the usual location on the Southwest corner of Goat Island near Pine Needle Lodge. Put-in and take out will be at the Pine Needle Lodge alternate area which is located just past The entrance to Pine Needle Lodge.

                                                  No dogs will be allowed this year.

Saturday the 29th will include several events and contests:

12:00: Start of the pumpkin carving contest, bring uncarved pumpkin, knives, candles, pattern, etc., judging starts after dark. Plan on taking pumpkin home with you as they are not natural to Goat island!

2:00: Pinata for the kids
3:00: Best decorated tent site. All decorations must be removed when you leave.
4:30: Dutch oven cook-off, have your entry ready at this time so we can eat it for dinner!
5:00: pot luck dinner, please bring enough for your group.
After dinner: Trick or treating from tent to tent, bring treats or you could be tricked!
Bonfire, bring 2 or 3 pieces of firewood per boat.
Costume contest for kids and adults.
Apple bobbing.
Ghost stories, bring your best!
Maybe the "Lady of the Lake" will make her appearance. Pretty scary stuff!
Prizes and awards from local paddle sports outfitter stores and the DDRC
Camping is primitive so bring water and appropriate camping gear.
Plan on leaving no trace of your stay on the island.
