The Think Tank

We put up some cool new lights in the backyard, just in time for the Halloween season!   They’ll be very helpful for casting just enough light in the Ghoul Scouts for Halloween night, as well as being superb for parties, just throwing darts or cooking on the grill.  Plus they look cool!

Hi everyone.

Chris has begun making his new props , and repairing old ones for this years display.  He has redone the crypt.  He is working on a few new bits for it and they will be spectacular.  I know everyone will LOVE his new additions.

We always need help on Halloween night, specially setting up our Halloween Costumes.  We need someone to walk the groups through the display.  I admit the groups to limit numbers so the props have time to reset etc.  Shannon walks the groups through the display but it is faster ( and much easier for her) to have at least two doing that job,  So when one is helping them exit the back yard, the other can be starting them through the display.  Chris always needs help in the yard scaring the little people, thumping, making noises, etc.

Our friend Candace is coming this year and I am sure she will be helping too.  Please let us know if you can come and be an assistant ghoul.  🙂

updates will follow.

Here is a time lapse video from Halloween night.  We had about 300-400 kids, and as the video says, we had help from a number of people which really made the night go a lot smoother.  Poor Shannon ran herself silly guiding groups back and forth all night.

All in all it was a great time and a lot of kids had a lot of fun.  I think that makes the night a resounding success.

I went out to Sylvans today to start getting my new PSE Xpression ready for the outdoor season. While I was there I bumped into Chris Kaman and Myers Leonard! For any of you who may not know, they are both centers for the Portland Trail Blazers. 

Both of them were really nice. I tried not to bother them while they were shooting, but we did talk about archery stuff for a while. Kaman has been shooting since he was a teenager, and This was Leonard’s second day.  

After they were done, they were nice enough to pose for a photo so I could make people jealous.
