The Ultimate Resource for Pacific Northwest Haunters and Halloween Enthusiasts

Greetings, Fellow Haunters:

I was in Columbus, the capital of our fair state, from Thursday through Sunday this past weekend for the 2009 edition of the Midwest Haunters Convention. The show took place at the Greater Columbus Convention Center at 400 North High Street in exhibition hall C. From what I’ve been told, the 2010 show will also take place in the exact, same location.

Allow me to push out a few bullet points:

1) To my eye, this year’s MHC introduced a fair number of new vendors to the haunting public.
2) I did not attend the grand Costume Ball on Saturday night, but my spies tell me that it was a well-received affair.
3) The Friday night party was held at a large bar called the Frog Bear and Wild Boar, just a block away from the hotel/convention center.

Greetings, Fellow Haunters: Great Lakes Fright Fest

The 9th annual Great Lakes Fright Fest (GLFF) happened this past weekend at Totem Pole Park - a tidy, compact campground, in Petersburg, Michigan. Once again, I happily enjoyed myself. The show was a pleasant success. Here are some bullet points:

  • The number of cans of human food donated: 1,477
  • The number of cans of pet food donated: 473
  • The number of pounds of dry dog food donated: 1,000 (new record)
  • The total number of attendees: more than 400 (new record)
  • I celebrated the beginning of my 35th season of haunted-house acting. (Who cares? I do.)
  • The haunted house ran from about 9:30 PM till around 12:15 AM
  • As of this writing I don’t know what the customer count at the haunt was, but my guess is 325
  • Next year’s Great Lakes Fright Fest will be a challenge, but we will all get through it safely.
