Hi folks!

I‘m looking forward to Trick or Treating with my boys this weekend! Every year we load up a flat bed with hay bales, orange lights and spider webs to tow through the neighborhood with friends and cousins. It’s a tradition I look forward to each fall. Because Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, I decided not to host the Trick or Treating on the docks as we would have to do it a whole week before Halloween. Instead, we’re gonna throw a good ole redneck parking lot party with a Chili Cook-Off! I hope you plan on competing!

In this issue:

• Chili Cook-Off POSTPONED DUE TO RAIN
