All Hallow's Eve Roundup

45 trick or treaters braved the rain and wind to celebrate the high holiday. This was more than I expected in our new neighborhood, especially considering the inclement weather. Mrs. Holidays, Toddler Holidays, and Grandmother Holidays were in attendance. My good buddy Steve also made an appearance and even contributed some candy to the event.

Looking ahead, I'll be putting up a modest All Souls Day display on Saturday so stay tuned for some pictures and perhaps a little video.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween!

Trick or Treat Still On

Instead of 6-8, it will now be 5:30-7. Lots of rain and heavy wind expected. Anticipating a very small crowd this year.

Happy Halloween

Wishing everyone a truly magical Halloween!  Due to an approaching rain/wind storm, our trick-or-treat may be moved to Saturday night, which is All Souls Day. The city will make a decision in the next couple of hours. I'll keep everyone posted.

Archway Decimated

Hours of strong southerly winds pummeled the archway and snapped one tombstone in half. Luckily, everything else has held up well. So, unfortunately, Spirit Grove III will not be featuring a branch-filled archway on Halloween Day, but with a few adjustments, it will still be a beautiful sight.

Round 1 in the Books

15 residents and 5 staff members from two local Goodwill chapters showed up to trick or treat at Spirit Grove. Mrs. Holidays, Toddler Holidays, and Sister in Law Holidays were in attendance. Grandmother and Mother in Law Holidays turned in nice performances as witches. Here are some pictures taken by Mrs. Holidays:
