Let the Games Begin!

Yard games, board games, card games, dice games, all games are welcomed.

**Friday at 4:00pm Site #12** will turn into game central for the weekend.

I will bring two 6-foot tables, two 4-foot tables, a couple decks of cards and a few board games. The picnic table will be used for shared snacks and the campfire will be continuous.

Bring snacks to share, your chair, your drinks, a game or two of any type and some wood for the campfire. If you have a portable table to bring you will get lots of gratitude, not extra points 🤪

Not a game person, no worries just sit back, relax, enjoy the campfire and company.

**Saturday at 1:00pm** round two of games galore and campfire huddles will begin.
**Saturday at 6:00pm** will be our potluck.

All games are being played for bragging rights. May the odds be ever in your favor.

If the weather is not cooperative the games will be moved to the Lodge’s gathering room.

Pere Marquette has confirmed their campground water spigots are anti-freeze so they will be available and the shower/bathhouse is open year round.

For anyone needing a break from the fierce competition, Pere Marquette has beautiful hiking trails and several other things which are listed at [https://dnr.illinois.gov/parks/activity/park.peremarquette.html](https://dnr.illinois.gov/parks/activity/park.peremarquette.html).

The Sam Vadalabene Bike Trail is paved and runs from Pere Marquette State Park through Grafton and into the City of Alton. Both towns have shopping, restaurants and a winery or two. [https://www.graftonilchamber.com/visitors-center-page](https://www.graftonilchamber.com/visitors-center-page)

Taking a tour of the Melvin Price Lock and Dam in Alton may give you a chance to see barges go through the lock and/or Eagles swooping down to the river to catch a bite to eat.
