[https://www.olmstedcounty.gov/residents/parks-recreation/park-programs Zoo Dazzle (lights only)] at Oxbow Park.  Going to the lights only session allows us to not have to fight traffic backed up to the main road, we only have to give up the treats and activities like visiting with Santa, we still get the lights and the animals.


We submit for your participation a two part social on Saturday October 22nd.  Flying pumpkins!  We didn't get our act together to fling some pumpkins of our own, but we can watch [http://www.gamehavenbsa.org/documents/2011PumpkinChuckinFlyer.pdf Scouts toss them].  Park back from the launch area, to avoid collateral damage.  Dress warm, we've been warned it's exposed and windy terrain.  Spectators are welcome at any time during the event.  However, if you wish to hang out with your fellow K-LUGgers, here's our planned schedule


-Watch flying pumpkins starting at '''1:30 pm'''


-At '''2:30 pm''', those who need to move for exercise, ADHD, or to stay warm are welcome to go for a hike with us.  The hike will take the trail west out of the parking lot to the city/county property of the Gamehaven Reservoir Park.  For those who need a goal to purpose their hike, there are several geocaches in the area.  Snacks, water, and layered clothing would be appropriate.


   
=== Upcoming Outdoor Socials TBD ===
Meet at the Gamehaven Scout Camp parking lot, '''1:30 or 2:30 pm''', Saturday October 22nd.  5015 Simpson Rd SE, that's next to "Stars - Fleur de lis" if you're looking at the geocaching map, http://www.geocaching.com/map/beta/?ll=43.951476,-92.432907&z=15&mt=hybrid .
We're planning pickleball, and a geocaching hike on a new trail at Northern Heights Park (start on the WSW side and walk clockwise).

Traditionally we've had a swap/sale/recycling event, but this year we've had very little interest.  Plus there's now other recycling options (some of them cheaper than what we have to collect for dropping off with the County).  So we're looking for a speaker, volunteers please?

=== Upcoming Meeting Crisis! ===
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2011. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad?  Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
