CAMP McFADDEN — Paint a pumpkin, enter the children’s costume contest (ages 12 and younger), cook a s’more over a campfire … these are some of the events at the Camp McFadden FallFest Oct. 31-Nov. 1 at Camp McFadden on the west shore of Kaw Lake.

Children are encouraged to wear their costumes to enter a special children’s costume contest with prizes for those 12 and younger.

The festival will feature kids’ games including penny in the hay stack, an opportunity to take pictures looking like a scarecrow and various other games.

Among other activities for the day are a hay rack ride, scarecrow making, fish painting and pumpkin decorating. And there are the usual camp attractions including the Canoe Pond and Nature Walk.
