Summary

Staff reported Halloween bookings are full and overflow campsites are being used; members discussed whether to add a second weekend in future years as demand grows and capacity is exceeded.

Staff reported that Halloween bookings are already full this year and that overflow campsites have been rented out in the same pattern used for the tractor show. Several members noted the campground is over capacity for that event and discussed whether to push Halloween to a second weekend in future years if demand continues to grow.

Members weighed the trade-offs of expanding the event footprint versus keeping a single weekend and agreed to monitor demand this year before making a formal change. Staff said they have begun taking calls from groups interested in handing out candy and will continue to manage overflow on a case-by-case basis.
