Greetings!
Halloween Weekend #1 was a blast! "Congratulations" goes out to all of the participants in the costume and site decorating contests. The top 3 sites were: 1st place: Jeff & Linda on site B17. 2nd place: Bruce & Patti on site B12. 3rd place: Chuck & Kathy on site 13. We also need to send out a big "thank you" to all of the wonderful volunteers that helped to make it such a great time for everybody. We definitely could not do this if we didn't have such great campers!! The Haunted Hayride raised over $200 for the Gilbert Brown Foundation. We truly have the best campers here at Pineland!!
  
If you missed all of the Halloween fun last weekend, don't fear...this weekend is our second Halloween Celebration!
  
The kids' celebration will begin at Noon with a craft, lunch, and trick-or-treating. We are planning on starting the trick-or-treating around 12:45, so campers that would like to hand out candy should be ready at that time.   
  
The rest of the fun will start as it gets darker... DJ Tom will be in the pavilion from 7-11PM. The Haunted Hayride will begin around 8PM and will cost $3 per person with all proceeds donated to the Gilbert Brown Foundation. The winners of the site decorating contest and the costume contest will be announced around 10PM in the pavilion.
  
There will be 25% off Pineland Clothing in the Camp Store and Flavor Burst Ice Cream cones will be $1. These items are going fast so be sure to get yours before they are all gone!
  
See you soon,
Randy and Connie
