2010 Spooktacular Hike
Posted October 9, 2010 by Peninsula Friends
The ninth annual Spooktacular hike was held on Saturday evening October 9, 2010.
The weather was excellent and the attendance was estimated to be over 2,000 people. Park Naturalist, Kathleen Harris, organizes this popular event every year. Camp hosts, park personnel, members of the Friends of Peninsula State Park and other volunteers helped set up, participate in, and put everything away when the hike was finished.
The event netted $2,500 which will be used to support Peninsula Nature Programs.
