[EXPIRED] 4th Annual “Dismal Day” October 22, 10AM to 2PM, Dismal Swamp State Park
Dismal Swamp State Park is attempting to get back into full swing as they recover from closure due to massive flooding from Matthew. A decision re “Dismal Day” will be made soon! A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, the Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center is located on the east shore of the Canal at Statute Mile 28.
Our 4th Annual Dismal Day event will be Sat 10/22 from 10 am-2 pm!
The 5K Fun Run starts at 9:30 am- we are still accepting pre-registrations for the run. We are also still seeking volunteers to help with craft and game stations. We’ve added new games and new exhibitors, and because 2016 is also the State Parks’ Centennial anniversary, there will be cake and s’mores, in addition to the familiar boat and wagon rides, bounce house, chalk art contest, music, and more! Additional information available by calling 252-771-6593. I’ve attached the event poster, if you don’t already have it.
Wagon Rides continue every Sunday at 11 am or 2 pm (weather permitting, call ahead to verify; NO reservations).
Finally, we will be participating in the South Mills VFD Open House tomorrow and the Grandy Primary Fall Festival on Sat 10/29.
Hope to see everyone, especially at Dismal Day!!
