Then, email your picture to dpetty@basslake.com before October 31^st for a chance to win prizes that include a $50 gift card or pizza certificates in one of two categories; “The Cutest Costume” and “The Most Creative Costume.”

While families will enjoy all of the fun and festivities going on at the carnival, there will be several activities just for adults. Be sure to stop by the beer garden for a tasting, where Tioga Sequoia will be visiting to allow guests to sample some of their seasonal brews. Some of South Gate Brewing Co’s seasonal and year-round favorites, as well as a full bar, will also be available during the tasting.
