Adding to the early fall fun, the Lodge’s Fourth Annual Pumpkin Roll will begin at 2pm. Participants can bring or buy a pumpkin to decorate and roll down the hill in front of the Lodge. Second and third place pumpkins will win gift certificates for the Lodge Restaurant. The fastest pumpkin’s owner will win the grand prize of a free night at the historic Lodge.
