3rd Annual Topaz Lake Witch Paddle & Kayak: Saturday, October 19th, 2024

 Netti Cooke DeBusk, Pamela Hunewill & Karen DeBusk hosted the 3rd Annual Witch Paddle and Kayak on a very chilly morning across the smooth surface of Topaz Lake.

This annual tradition began in 2022 to celebrate ringing in the spooky Halloween season. Spectators get to view silhouetted figures dressed in pointy hats and capes as they paddle board or kayak, laughter & comraderie abounding.

The next event will be a Santa paddle in December.

This was the invitation/announcement to the public:
