Halloween 2011

It is almost Halloween night.  We have had a great October season.  Had a fantastic Party and the crowds each Fri/Sat/Sun were big this year even in the rain.  The effects ran pretty smoothly and we have perfected their setup and take down so it hasn't been too hard each night.   Here are some photos of the setup this year from our friend Marci Brandt.

Daylight at the graveyard

We got the monks and TOT's positioned on Saturday.   Everything was ready to go for the effects that night.

Spider webs

We added webs Saturday afternoon when the weather was nice.

Great weekend of full effects

The weather cooperated all 3 nights we ran the full effects.  Everything went pretty smoothly.  People seem to like the new Abbey.   We also got our fair share of people who have never seen the display before.

First night of full effects

Here is the Abbey lit up our first night of full effects.  Was a nice night with lots of visitors.

Setup Day

We had a LOT of people come and help with setup on Saturday.

The Graveyard is setup once again

We spent Saturday and Sunday setting up the yard display.  We had a ton of help on Saturday and were able to get everything out in the yard and most of the details in place including sound and lights.   We spent Sunday between rain showers finishing.  We have a few things to do before Friday's official full effects night but it is looking pretty good.
