P. H. Hoeft State Park is inviting the public to participate in its fifth annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 10 a.m.

Campers will be preparing their campsites for the "Best Decorated Campsite" competition. There will also be a "Best Costume" contest, and children's games will be offered throughout the day. Children can participate in pumpkin carving and trying to hit a piñata.

"Best Costume" judging will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. The park roads will be closed at that time for safety as the trick-or-treating begins. The haunted trail will be open from 8:30 until 10 p.m.

All are encouraged to bring treats to pass out, and join in the fun by wearing their best costume or decorating their campsite. Coffee, cider and doughnuts will be provided.

Hoeft State Park is located at 5001 US-23, five miles northwest of Rogers City in Presque Isle County. The park offers 144 campsites in a modern campground, and campsites are still available for this event.
