Dave I love Snoopy flying his dog house, that takes me back to High school daze

The Tin Soldiers from the NutCracker always creep me out tho, Grants Pass puts them out on the main drag and they really bother me enough that I will avoid driving there. Not sure why but they have always bugged me since I was a kid

For Christmas:
I have a whole line of soldiers
A line of 52" tall lollipops
A line of 38" Candy canes
A line of 2' tall mini christmas trees - that will change colors (hopefully)

Halloween I may have a row of light up pumpkins

got a few calls from fright land ( a big pay attracktion not far from us) asking about what we are doing...heheh

started to build the storage shed.18 foot by 8 foot by 8 foot. so we should have lots of room to keep things for next year. we already have a build room.

Still need to work on the sound effects and looping things togeather.
i really need to buy some good sound programs to over lay a few different sounds at once..

sorry no pics. but we like to keep things covered until the big night.
Make sure you have the guy sitting in the chair act dead and then scream really loud from time to time... a strobe light behind the chair would give a decent shocking effect. have the guy in the chair flick it on at the same time he starts screaming.
