Annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest and Afternoon Oktoberfeast | ||
Saturday, Oct. 19, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Tyler State Park | ||
Please join us for this highly entertaining annual event that’s sure to get you into the fall spirit. Underwater pumpkin carving starts around noon. Then, around 3 p.m., we’ll have our ever-popular Bavarian-style feast, followed by carving judging and awarding of prizes. We’re back at Tyler State Park. We’ll be at the day-use area left of the swim beach. Look for our bright yellow club banners, T-shirts and signs. Activities start before noon as contestants bring their pre-cleaned, gutted pumpkin to the event area (by the banners, signs, etc.). Clean your pumpkin at home! Then everyone – divers and spectators – will move to the sandy swim beach area to gear up for the noon dive. Theme: Nightmare Before Christmas Categories:
