And for a special treat for boaters and lake lovers. Looking for a trick-or-treat experience with a twist? Well, get those Boo Cruisers ready because Logan Martin Lake is gearing up for its inaugural "Boo Bash on Logan Martin Lake". A pier-to-pier and dockside trick-or-treat spooktacular hosted by families, marinas, and restaurants all over our beautiful lake Sunday, October 30th from 1pm — Nautical Twilight. A Google Map will be provided for all participants with each host site marked by a Jack O' Lantern. If you plan to be a part of all the spooky fun, please indicate how many ghosts/goblins you will have aboard your Boo Cruiser after you have selected you are "going". This will help each host pier and dock know how many people to prepare for this year. Hope you can join us.
