Join the Friends of Dumont Dunes in honoring our great Dumont Dunes Veterans! 4th Annual Dumont Dunes Veterans Day Flag Parade Cruise and Gathering 🇺🇲 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Everyone will line up on the west side of the Vendors Row starting at 9:30 AM. Decorate your vehicles in American flags or red, white and blue. Wear your red, white and blue, show how proud you are for our Veterans. Kiddos are welcome to join the parade on their quads, dirt bikes and mini sxs's 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 At 10:00 AM, they will play the national anthem 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 and when that is complete, whoever the Star Spangled Banner playing leader is, will then start the parade cruise around the front of the Vendors Row since they can no longer drive down Vendors and they will cruise the route through the camp area and over the one dune to the flats over by Veterans Hill. (The speed will be based on the youngest rider) There they will begin to gather everyone. The agenda: • Take down the flag, if it is not acceptable and raise a new flag to replace it. • Have the Veterans in attendance join in front of the group. • Hand out any little flags to the kiddos • Moment of silence • Pledge of allegiance • Present Veterans with a token of our appreciation. • Ask the Veterans if they are comfortable talking about their service, even if it's just a few words to say their branch and years or any stories/experiences they wish to share. • Patriotic music mix while we visit and hang out. Join the conversation on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/rNFMKJ4siZBntWSB/

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! It is a week-long dune trip for some groups when friends and families gather at the dunes to prepare their annual feasts. If you are wondering how busy it gets, Thanksgiving does draw quite a crowd, but it's not quite as crazy as Halloween. Catch the waterpumpers in action as the Dune Masters and Sand Pipers clubs compete in their 54th annual hill climbs. Their drag races will not take place this year. Friday: Hill Climbs on the steep, left side of Comp Hill starting at 10:00 AM And don't forget, Santa will be at the North Pole on that Saturday 11/30 from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM hard stop. Details to come. Stay up to date on the Dumont Dunes Santa Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/144674787256195/?mibextid=oMANbw

Our 12th Annual Buggy Roundup is December 12-15, 2024. Have you got a buggy? Come out and join us to camp, hang, and run the dunes together. This is not a big party weekend. It's actually pretty chill. But if you love buggies and want to get together with the rest of the buggies of Dumont, this is the weekend for that. Everyone is always super cool and respectful. If they aren't, they'll be asked to leave and won't be invited back. We hope to see all the regulars plus some new faces this year! "Schedule" Thursday: Get there early, meet the early arrivals, and go make some tracks in the sand Friday: Run the dunes and burn some fuel! Saturday: Sandcars & Coffee 8AM-9:30- Park your buggy in the center of camp. (Many guys do it the night before). Grab a coffee, wake up, mingle with other buggy people. 10AM group ride: We will do a group ride with ALL the buggies ending someplace like North Pole, Comp or whatever feels right. Grab yourself some lunch. 1PM We will raffle off some prizes The rest of the day will be more duning finishing the last ride on Sunset Hill. Saturday Night: group bonfire, possibly dune videos on the big screen Sunday: Pick the sand out of your ears, go for another morning dune run, and then pack it up when you feel like it (or stay another day to enjoy Dumont some more) LOG IN & RSVP on the EVENT PAGE link below (If you have trouble logging in or can't figure it out, it's cool.
