Fall Festival
Saturday October 26, 2024
4pm – 7pm
The Lake Terrapin HOA Social Committee invites you to this year’s first annual Fall Festival featuring the following events:
- Trunk-n-Treat for kids from 4 to 7pm
This event is geared towards creating a fun environment for children and parents in our neighborhood and attendance is open to all Lake Terrapin residents.
Residents are encouraged to register for one of the 20 parking spots at the Clubhouse. A prize will be awarded for the best trunk decoration. Click here for the flyer about vehicle registration.
Space is limited, so families wishing to park their vehicle and decorate their trunk will need to register in advance using the link above. Registrations are on a first-come, first serve basis.
Rules for Vehicle Decorations
- Vehicles need to be parked between 3 pm and 3:30 pm and will be parked in the order you arrive.
- Vehicle engines should not be running during this event and electricity connections to the Clubhouse will not be provided.
- Decoration of your trunk happens from 3:30 pm to 4pm.
- This event is for children and decorations must be child appropriate (not too scary).
- Trunk contestants are expected to have candy to hand out.
- Trunk decorations will be judged into the following categories:
- Movie Theme
- Candy Theme
- Cartoon Theme
- Most Complex or Detailed
- For safety reasons and due to the limited size of the parking lot, vehicles are not allowed to depart until 7pm.

- Children’s Games (Beanbag Toss, Ring Toss, Bowling)
- Pumpkin Painting Station
- Face Painting
- Hot Dogs, Drinks, and Chips served at 5pm
Volunteer Shifts
We need volunteers to help make this year’s 2023 Trunk or Treat a success for the Lake Terrapin neighborhood. Volunteers can be from 12 to 99 years old! Middle School and High School Students that need community service hours can get credit and have their forms signed by Social Committee Members.
Volunteers are needed to help manage the games and bounce house, to help prepare and serve hot dogs and popcorn, do face paintings, and to run a Pumpkin Painting Station. We also have four volunteer spots for people to sign up if they don’t care what job they are assigned.
Face Painting:
We do not have any face painting supplies, but if you have face painting skills, let us know what to get you and we will get you some face painting supplies. Email [email protected] once you register to be a face painter.
Game Coordinators:
Have you always wanted to be a Carnival Barker? The games will be setup near the bounce house and will include: Beanbag Toss (Cornhole), Ring Toss, Bowling, etc.
The Bounce House “Bouncer”:
The bounce house will need an attendant to manage the pandemonium within the bounce house and also control how many are in the bounce house at any one time. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
Pumpkin Painting Station:
Multiple tables will be setup in the Clubhouse so children can paint some pumpkins and channel their inner Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, or Frida Kahlo. Do you like a challenge? Are you interested to encourage young artists to utilize an orange winter squash as a canvas? Sign up to volunteer and you could inspire the next great pumpkin masterpiece.
