Lake Loramie Halloween Campout Weekend October 7-9th, 2011 was a huge success! The beautiful summer-like weather made it even more spook-tac-u-lar!!! Both Friday and Saturday night a haunted maze was put on by Chuck and Kathy Helton and park volunteers. On Saturday, kids had fun getting their faces painted and then enjoyed decorating up a pumpkin to take home with them. Great chili was served by our camper host and the Hickerson Family that played during Lake Loramie Fall Festival returned to perform on stage. Of course, it wouldn't be Halloween without trick or treat!!!
