Fun: Fall Festival and Truck or Treat

October 30, 2023 by Andi Schwartz

This past weekend was full of fun for Lewis & Clark Young Marines, we celebrated our annual Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat event!

The fun kicked off with our XO Mr. Vernier getting a pie to the face from the Young Marine who sold the most pies from our Willamette Valley Pie Company fundraiser! Congratulations to YM/SSGT Gallant!

We then changed over into costumes if we brought them, and played all kinds of fun games, like musical chairs, spooky darts, tic tac toe with pumpkins and so many more!

To finish off the fun we did a trunk or treat and were delighted to see so many fun and creatively decorated trunks!

A huge thank you to all of the staff volunteers, and to all of the parent volunteers that made this event happen, we could not have done it without you all! Have a safe and happy holiday this week!

Lewis & Clark Young Marines cruised up the I-5 to Seattle this past Saturday for our drill. We toured The Museum of Flight, checked out the Tukwila Family Fun Center & Bullwinkle’s Restaurant, and ended with Domino’s Pizza for dinner. It was a long day, but we had a blast!

Did you know Lewis & Clark Young Marines has three platoons? Alpha, Bravo and Charlie. Not only do we do things as a unit, we go out and have fun bonding with our platoons and wow have we had fun recently! Alpha chose bowling, Bravo did laser tag and mini golf, and Charlie bounced off their energy at the trampoline park!
