Next up: Community Campfire and Concert Saturday, September 9th 6:30 - 8:30p.m. (Updated times.)
The annual Friends
of Pike Lake Community and Campfire and concert this year features event’s most popular
entertainer, Randy Peterson.
The concert begins at 6:30
pm in the clearing just north of the beach parking lot. During the concert, families will enjoy a
blazing bonfire, festive lighting and refreshments in the beautiful state
forest setting. They will also be able to view stars and planets through
telescopes, thanks to members of the Northern Cross Science Foundation (http://www.ncsf.info/). The event is free, though a state park
sticker (annual or daily, available that evening) is required for parking. Families attending the campfire concert
usually bring blankets or lawn chairs, and some picnic table seating is
available. If it rains, the concert will
move to the nearby shelter.

Along with his many live concerts, Randy
Peterson often appears on television and radio programs. His concerts are fast-paced, featuring humor
and storytelling. Children participate
throughout his shows, which he likes to call “sing-along, clap-along,
laugh-along concerts . . . which all ages will enjoy”.
