club | When I was first starting out in this business one of my supervisors told me that we as a grounds crew were sort of like baseball umpires – we were doing our best work when nobody noticed we were out there. Now, having been in the industry for nine years and an Assistant Superintendent for the past three, I have to say that I couldn’t disagree more. Sunday the 27th is the Kid’s Halloween Party and costume contest, with all kinds of fun activities for the kids and adults. It is from 3-5pm…come get some freaky food for the whole family! Clubhouse News Joel White, Clubhouse Manager Kids beware! It’s time to start creating costumes for the Kids Annual Halloween Party. The Club transforms into a kids Halloween headquarters on Sunday, October 27th from 3-5pm. Kids, moms and dads should dress up in their spookiest attire and compete in the costume contest. Prizes for the scariest, funniest, best family themed and most original costumes will be given out. Bring your pumpkins to the Club for the 3rd Annual Pumpkin Smash on Sunday, November 3rd from 2:30-5pm. This is an event for all ages with pumpkin launching, hay rides, hot fall drinks, good food and good times. Oh, don’t forget about making s’mores over an open fire. New this year will be a kids interactive pumpkin launcher where they can try their hand at hitting targets set up on the range. Also try your hand at a Gallagher Sledge-OMatic style pumpkin smash. For those of you that attended last year and remember the pumpkin canon it’s back and better then ever. I like the saying, GO BIG OR GO HOME! The canon will be super charged this year and we will see if we can launch a pumpkin 300 yards. Somebody better warn the grounds crew! The CSU Tailgate / Chili Cook-Off is just around the corner and we are still looking for a few Cook-Off contenders. Let me know if you are interested. Put your CSU game day fare on and come out to the Club on Friday, October 18th from 5-9pm and have fun with all your friends. Special guests will be making appearances in helping us cheer on the CSU football team before they head to win the Border War in Wyoming the next day. This is an event for all ages and is full of family fun. Live music on the main stage and you might even see someone marching in with fanfare. Warm up your football skills and try your hand at our football tryout style games and activities. Do you think you still have it? Chef Greg will be flipping burgers and dogs with all the game day favorite munchies. Anyone who has an RV sitting in the driveway is welcome to pull in with style and park in the VIP section. Please feel welcome to bring the friends! This party is a go rain or shine! There will be plenty of libations to keep you warm or snuggle up to one of the many bon fires. The Club still has a few prime dates in December open to host your holiday event. Whether a party of 10 or 200, the Club is a great place to showcase your Holiday luncheon or dinner party.
