HALLOWEEN FUN

Halloween night volunteers drive and pull haywagons loaded with costumed "trick or treaters" around the lakes and stop at pre-arranged stops for treats. Sweetwater Realty is one of those stops. Pictured is the Sweetwater Realty staff and friends enjoying the evening.

HAUNTED FOREST and HAYRIDE

The Cordry Sweetwater Fire Department will present their annual Haunted Forest and Hayride fundraiser on October 26th and 27th from 8:00 PM to Midnight. Admission for the event is $8.00 for

adults and $4.00 for children 3-11 years. The brave participants will board a hay wagon at the Sweetwater Beach and be taken back to the haunted trail. The poor souls will then walk the haunted trail and encounter various skits put on by volunteers. Afterward, they will reboard a hay wagon and return to the beach. Food is available before and after the ride.

PEAK COLOR

It's beautiful! I thought that the summer's drought would dull the fall colors. Wrong! (Photo taken from Cordry Dam)

NEW BEACH WALL

In less time than it took to make the motion, a new retaining wall and steps have been installed at Sweetwater Beach. Local contractor Jerry Cleefman and company completed the wall in record time AND it looks great!

DREDGLER ON THE MOVE

The Dredger at Sweetwater Lake has moved his base of operations to the boat launch area. A new "loading dock" for the dredger's use has been constructed while he completes 5 or 6 private dredging jobs on the lake. There is some speculation that this "loading dock" might become the local contractor's launching ramp in the future.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

National Fire Prevention Week and our local volunteer fire department enjoyed visiting the library on Friday, October 5th. Pictured are several local residents being given a tour/demonstration of the fire engine.
