Safe Autumn activities

Club Connerton previously has hosted several autumn events for residents in the Land O’ Lakes community — but this year, because of COVID-19, the activities were reimagined, to follow social distancing guidelines.

Instead of the adult beer garden and costume contests, Gregg Svendgard, Club Connerton’s general manager, and his staff, came up with some new activities.

There was the annual Monster Mash Dash Costume 5K Run, a pumpkin patch and a scarecrow-themed hay bale to give families a backdrop for photos.

Staff members disinfected pumpkins regularly, and plastic gloves were supplied to those picking out their perfect pumpkin.

The pumpkins were free, and each children received a bag with candy and a craft-to-go, while supplies lasted.

Seven-year-old Sophia Husby and her 5-year-old sister, Chloe, select their perfect pumpkins from the patch on the lawn of Club Connerton. The girls were there their parents, Juliana and Eric.
Four-year-old Kendall Smith is all smiles, as she proudly shows her mother, Tia, the pumpkin that she chose.
These costumed characters are getting ready to take off at Connerton’s annual Monster Mash Dash 5K. The participants, who live in Connerton, were disguised as superheroes and Harry Potter characters. From left: Chelsea Frati, Nicole Jarvis, Izzy Pettey, Marina Lowe, Adysson Lowe and Elyssa Lowe.
