Also at the event, a big screen broadcast of the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys game will be featured. Kick off is scheduled for 1 p.m.
The park is located on 803 Smithville Rd., Eastampton. In the event of extreme weather, the event will be moved to Oct. 27. Light rain could cancel some activities.
A limited number of canoes and kayaks will be available. Each canoe must have at least one adult and a maximum of four people per canoe. Maximum weight per canoe is 565 pounds. Children too small to wear a personal flotation device will not be permitted to participate.
