COLUMBUS WEEKEND IS HALLOWEEN AT BOWDISH LAKE. Remember to bring your costumes!
Because we have an occupancy limit on our Rec Hall and because those ‘just watching’ take up space needed for games, all persons who attend our costume party, both adults and children, must be in costume. Thank you!
Prizes will be awarded for both Adult and Children’s costumes!
