I am so happy. Local News is once again coming to interview us.

Cograts on the recognition!

That's very exciting!! Congrats!!?? Better buy more candy! Lol??

YEah three years ago the wife went and bought a lot more candy and glad she did.

Congrats! And well-deserved!

Congrats!! ?

Will you put up pictures of your famous haunt?

Been extremely busy the past few weeks. Plan to get video and photos of it done within the next week or so and update my signature with the video from this year. I will also post a link to the news story once they air it.

Congrats! When the news showed up at ours last year they came unannounced, right at dinner time and I was totally unprepared for it.I'm not a good public speaker at all and trying to do it on the spot with a camera shoved in my face was...interesting.

That is exactly what they did to us 3 years ago from the other station. Right when we were eating. Trying to make sure we didn't have anything in our teeth as we were on camera lol.

That’s very cool! Look forward to seeing your display!

I know what I'm going to be for Halloween: GREEN WITH ENVY!!!
Congrats, you are simply amazing! I'm so jealous of your incredible displays! My favorite... hmm... probably the massive spider on the roof! And the accompanying sac!

Thank you so much. Actually the spider is coming down next year. My Grandson told me I should do giant ants. He is 8 years old. So next year I am going with ants climbing up the garage and a large ant hill on top of the garage. Hopefully it will turn out great.

That doesn't mean the spider will be gone. I plan to put it on the ground in the back yard with the web coming down out of the tree.

Giant Ants? I immediately thought of this.

Great job.
