 Yes, that's right. We have a ghoulish pumpkin carving contest in the Fall ......underwater of course. Sure, it's silly, but we have done this for many years and it's loads of fun while the lake is still warm and before we put the boat to rest for the winter. All you have to do is carve the best pumpkin  "underwater" and maybe you will swim away with our "Underwater Pumpkin Carving" honors and  prize MONEY to boot. Everyone will enjoy some of our Halloween treats & hot chocolate and some incredibly visibility for this time of year too! Call Rick's 753-6004 for more information and let's have some fun!

• Divers supply their own pumpkins and carving tools.
  

• Pumpkins are to be opened and cleaned of all seeds and pulp before divers enter the water.
