A playful, spooky-spirited cookout and group hike lands at Edwin Warner Park Shelter 2 in Nashville, blending a shared meal with a costume trek on the trails. The format is potluck, and a $5 reservation paid in advance secures a spot and helps cover the site; payments are collected via Venmo @debbiekrumpe or PayPal, and spots are confirmed once payment is received. A coordinated sign-up will balance the menu so there is real food alongside desserts. Three volunteer cooks and a few portable grills will anchor the setup, while everyone else contributes something to share. Suggested contributions include burgers, hot dogs and buns, chips and dips, pasta or potato salad, baked beans, veggie and fruit trays, cookies and brownies, drinks such as water or soda, and paper goods like plates, napkins and utensils. Bringing enough for the group is encouraged, and matching a dish to a costume adds extra fun. Costumes follow an outdoors theme, so anything that belongs in the woods, on a mountain or river, or on a survival show fits the brief. Ideas range from Crocodile Hunter, lumberjack, park ranger, hunter or angler, over-the-top hiker, camper, forest fairy, Bigfoot, Smokey Bear, national park tourist with a fanny pack, survivalist or doomsday prepper, mountain traveler, kayaker, river otter, tree hugger, bird watcher, trail crew member, lost backpacker, camp counselor, or a wild animal. Something off-theme can still work with a hiking twist. Safety comes first, so costumes that rely on stilts, full-body latex, zero visibility, or anything likely to trigger a rescue should be rethought. Expect a relaxed cookout, plenty of shared dishes and lighthearted ribbing, followed by a group hike in full costume to walk off the feast.
