Universal Monsters Pumpkin Carving Pattern Book

I originally scanned and posted this many Halloween's ago.

I thought I'd re-share it for anyone that is new here.

 

Welcome October!

 

October is here! It's time for the Countdown to Halloween! Let's get spooky!

DeBord's 25th Annual Halloween Party

This was the DeBord's 25th year hosting a Halloween party and it was a little different than past years. Due to the 'Rona they couldn't hold it in a park with vendors, wrestling, belly dancers, food trucks, etc. etc. Instead they held it in their backyard where it originally started 2½ decades ago. 

The guest list was by invitation only, luckily I was invited. The food was covered dish, they had spooky music playing, games for adults and kids with prizes, a door prize, a giant inflatable movie screen showing Ghostbusters, fire eaters, pumpkin carving and a pizza eating contest. I participated in the pizza eating contest for the first time this year. I didn't win.

Hopefully things will be back to normal next year and they can have a big festival again. You can check out some photos I shared from past years here. Now, here's this year's pics.

I brought Halloween Cheese Curls.

Some of the decorations.

Inflatable movie screen.

CJ's Pumpkin Patch

I didn't know they made Halloween port-o-potties!

Pizza eating contest hosted by local Horror Host legend Lil' John.

I didn't win.

One of the games they played was throw a wadded up piece of paper into the cauldron on the garage. I came in second.

Photobombed by a Pokemon!

That's hot!

New Old Halloween Pictures

I love finding old Halloween photos! I was going through my mom's old photo albums and found these two pictures that I hadn't scanned before. Now I have. :)

 1985 - My brother as a superhero that he designed named Flaming Youth (it's a KISS song), me as Satan and our niece as Donald Duck.

1980 - Punkins!

Pumpkins and Squash and Pears! Oh My!

This past Saturday the wife and I took a trip to Hinckley, OH to visit Weymouth Farms And Orchard. They mainly grow Asian pears and apples. But this time of year they also have a wide variety of pumpkins and squash. They took us on a tour of the orchard on a golf cart and let us sample the pears and apples right off of the tree. It was fun and delicious! We bought a big ol' box of pears, two pumpkins and three squash.
