That looks great. One of the things I want to do if I ever get to the point I can leave on Halloween. Right now we get over 1,000 toters. It's getting a little out of hand for just a couple to handle. So hubby suggested we take a couple of years off and travel to see other Halloween displays. And then when we start up again the numbers will be down to a more comfortable number. So this is on my list of places I'd like to go to. Thanks for sharing.
Have you ever been to the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze?
http://www.hudsonvalley.org/events/blaze This event always generates gorgeous pictures of massive Jack 'O Lantern displays. Has anyone here seen it in person, and would it be worth a flight or a roadtrip?

Yes! I went!! It was like... a dream of mine to go!
Road trip yes - flight no.
It is REALLY crowded - they get tons of people every single night. If you go - take your time - most of the crowd will pass you by.
Another tip - if you drive there - it is right next to a grocery store (Shoprite I think?) - Park in their parking lot
and *cough* they have restrooms too...
If you buy tickets watch out for the weather - we've been having freaky storms around Halloween - Sandy, a snowstorm - and we got cancelled twice! They rescheduled for later in the season... So you might want to pick dates carefully.
I would recommend - if you are thinking of flying in - to go to several Halloween things in this area:
1) The Blaze
2) Visit Sleepy Hollow and do some of their events
3) The Headless Horseman Hayride - Not my thing personally, but a lot of people seem to love it. Totally depends on what you're into.
4) Go check out Halloween stuff in NYC - like the Botanical Gardens: http://www.nybg.org/exhibitions/2014/haunted-pumpkin-garden/
5) Or just enjoy fall in the Hudson Valley!
