There will be pumpkin rescuing, swimming, a pumpkin decorating contest, and treat bags.

Bring everyone for this great family event. Must register in advance, no on-site registration, as space is limited. Ages 4-15 years old are invited to participant in rescue and decorating contest. Cost is $6.00 for participants and $2.00 for all other swimmers.
