UPDATED AS OF 10/11/16

Loose agenda :
Manatee Springs Halloween Gathering
October 27th - 30th

BRING A PUMPKIN


A few of us are arriving on Wednesday. Nothing planned except setting up, decorating and relaxing.

Thursday - 27th - Cedar Key for dinner maybe and watch the sunset over the water. If anyone is interested or has other suggestions, please speak up. If anyone needs help setting up, backing up or whatever, please let me know. There will be lots of us to lend a hand.

Friday - 5:30 p.m - until
Meet n Greet - Hotdog night - Hula Hoop night and Name Tags/Greet Bags given out at
site 11 or 12 depending on site size. Will confirm later.
Please wear a Halloween t-shirt or Halloween pants or hat or all of the above, but save the costume for Saturday night.
Bring a chair and beverage of choice.
Will grill hotdogs. Will need condiments, chips, dip, etc.
Saturday - If anyone wants to kayak, canoe or rent a pontoon as a group or go on a 1.5 hour ride with drinks and meal provided, speak up. The spring is 72 degrees and beautiful so bring your swimsuit. I've got a bowling set (large plastic size) if anyone wants a friendly competition at the Pavillion. :-)

Saturday - 5:00 p.m. Potluck dinner. Not sure of a menu yet but we can start planning now.

DRESS UP IN YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME and bring your bongos, congas, harmonicas, tambourine, bucket or whatever you want to beat on. Will have light up hula hoops and glow sticks. Bring GLOW STICKS! Walmart and Dollar Tree have lots.


We will have a Karaoke Machine so practice your best signing voices and get your dance shoes now. I promise you this will be fun!
After I get suggestions I'll make a formal agenda. Nothing is planned for Saturday morning except to visit.

We will not be trick or treating the campground this year like we normally do. We are just going to relax and "pass a good time". We will have a drum circle Saturday evening so bring your bongo drums, conga drums, harmonicas, tambourines, guitars or whatever you want. Heck, bring a bucket and use it to bang on. We are just going to have adult fun! (Well, we may act like kids but you know what I mean )

So, please join in and make some fun memories with us! :thumbsup:

Awesome Rick! I will put you and Lilly on the list. By any chance are you on Facebook? I've got a camping site there that I'd like to invite you to join. That is where I/We/Members can post camping invitations or adventures or, just have fun chatting. It's also called Bayou Belle & Friends. The list of those attending this is there but I'll also copy and post it here.

So glad y'all are joining in! As the time gets closer, we will put up an "agenda" of sorts. Potluck will be Saturday early evening but there will also be a drum circle, hula-hoop, music gathering. Quite a few of us have bongos, congos, harmonica's (I do but have no idea what I'm doing) so please bring something to bang on, strum of dance around and enjoy yourselves. Great group of people! Looking forward to meeting y'all. :thumbsup:

I have updated the Manatee Springs Halloween Gathering list. It is conveniently located on the very first post at the top of the page. I will keep updating it as I get attendees. I have a forum on Facebook called Bayou Belle & Friends. If you are on FB and would like to join it, please send a request. It is a great camping group and new members are always welcome. Thanks to Mike's TnTTT site, I was able to meet so many wonderful people and have camped with many of them. I hope one day to hook my trailer up, hit the road and visit each state and meet lots of you. A girl can dream right? :)

Just in case you want to update site 31....
it should read, The old hippies.....
no, that's not what I was thinking, although it might be true.
You should change the last name to Slawson... Witness protection and all of that stuff. (I'm sure you all have been there.)

Ok, so Regina and I, along with Conch Fritter, Max Beagle and Stinky the Cat will be in site 41. Looking forward to seeing everyone again and we can use the break from all the work we've been doing on the house.
