October Trip & Venturing After Dark October 10-12

Our next crew outdoor trip is Venturing After Dark in Thurmont, MD.


The event starts at a time to be determined with rambling at will through the Catoctin Color Fest in the town of Thurmont, MD - music, food, and fun stuff to look at. This is an informal pre-event activity. After the Color Fest, we will all meet at 4:30 pm at Loy's Station Park, a few miles east of Thurmont, with Venturing Chilly Cook Off (bring your own chilly and fixins to share - enough for your crew and a second crew so that we can all share around potluck), Frisbee Football (bring your own Frisbee and I will bring mine), Pumpkin Carving contest (bring your own pumpkin). At about 6:30 pm, we will all go to Winterbrook Farm to shoot the Great Pumpkin Cannon (three pumpkins for $10) at appropriate targets and when it is dark (about 7:00 pm) for $5.00 a person we will get lost Winterbrook Farm's Corn Maze, the BIGGEST in Maryland with over 5 miles of maze (if you walk it all)
