herland fall retreat at eufaula
You won’t want to miss the Herland Fall Retreat at Lake Eufaula State Park on Fri., Sat., and Sun., October 27-29. Come for as much or as little of the weekend as you like or are able. Lake Eufaula is a beautiful location and there should be a nip of fall in the air.
Friday we arrive and set up camp. A pot-o-something (soup, chili, etc.) is prepared for the evening meal. Then we head down to the campfire.
We will have the popular pumpkin-carving contest (please bring your own pumpkin) and the Halloween costume contest on Saturday as well as several crafts workshops.
Bring an instrument if you are a performer for the open mic on Saturday afternoon. Also, there are plenty of good hiking or mountain biking areas around Lake Eufaula State Park.
Saturday evening is our shared potluck meal so bring your favorite dish to wow your fellow retreaters.
For our Saturday evening concert, Herland presents Ochi. Ochi has been known throughout Denver and surrounding areas as a preformer, teacher, drummer, and guardian of culture/history. Hers is a new, same gender loving music for those tiredof living in a “straight jacket”. Grab ya girl, go meet a girl, and get ready for some GIRL to GIRL love for the lesbian in you.
Using humor, relevant topics and good music she hopes to spread her message of love, harmony, and peace. Hold on to your bonnet. Her lyrics are sexy, even steamy but never vulgar. They are humorous but never obscene. Her wit is clever but never lame.
Sunday mornings are when we pack up our stuff, clean up the cabins, and have our always-fun raffle drawing. If you wish to bring an item to donate for the raffle, it is always appreciated.
