It’s October in Bunyan Bay which can only mean one thing, the Annual Pumpkin Launching Competition. This year we had a slight snafu when an errant pumpkin sailed through Grandma Enquist’s picture window. Thankfully, Grandma Enquist was not home at the time. She was the one launching the pumpkin. However, Grandpa Enquist was home, but was not hurt physically. It turns out Grandma Enquist was mad at her husband for not letting her watch her soaps. When asked to comment, Grandma Enquist said, “If you dance with the devil, there’s hell to pay.”

In other news, the Bunyan Bay Halloween Party will be held October 31st at the Church of the Unwavering Lutheran. We respectfully ask that no one dress salaciously this year. Last year, Grandma Enquist gave the children nightmares for weeks when she wore her French Maid outfit.

One final note, the leaves are peaking in Bunyan Bay and so is the Bunyan Bay High School Lumberjack Team. The Fighting Crappies beat the Moon Lake Bottom Feeders last week when the Feeders came in second in the Ax Catching Competition.
