Barren River Lake has many activities planned to celebrate couples (Video)

Barren River Lake State Resort Park, near Lucas, will hold its annual Honeymooner’s Weekend on Friday, February 15 through Sunday, February 17. The park is adamant that one does not need to be a newly wed to enjoy this event that celebrates Valentine’s Day.

The fun begins on Friday night with guests are invited to dress as their favorite entertainer and party like a rock star! A karaoke contest will be held including a contest for best costume. Single, duet, or group performances are welcome.

On Saturday afternoon it is time to find out how well you know your sweetheart. Park staff will lead a fun and maybe educational (for the couples) game of the “Not-So-Newlywed Game.”

Saturday evening will begin with a delicious buffet dinner in the Driftwood Restaurant followed by a dance. DJ Cindy Cossey will spin the tunes and even teach a few dance moves. In addition, there will be couples-themed games during the dance.
