WAY OFF TOPIC - What is going on in my life!
Posted On 07/11/2008 09:08:00
Hi There,

Since I feel so many of you are like my family, I wanted to share this Off Topic news with you all!
 
Well..... My folks thinks we have totally lost it! LOL Maybe this is our Mid Life Crisis Adventure???? The kids are grown and gone and We are taking on a horse farm/ranch. We're excited! 

This place
is in Custar, Ohio in the middle of no where. The closest town is about
7+ miles away.  Our little farm has 5 acres!
 
Having a horse farm has been a long time dream of mine. We figured if we are ever going to do it, now is a time to try. We signed a year's lease with the thought that if we fall flat on our face - all we half to do is tough it out for a year. But if we really like it - we'll have the option to buy it. Kinda like taking it for a test drive.  

We will start moving our things over the 1st of August. Then around Labor Day we should be settled in. I hate moving......  but we are getting really good at it!!! LOL

 We will pick up the "Miniature" Horses around the 15th of Aug.  :0)
 
We will be classified as a Hobby Farm. I told Brian since we'll be raising miniature horses - Does that mean we'll have a Hobby Horse Farm????  LOL - (Bad)

The Horses we will be bringing home are:

Zoey & her little colt (and possibly due to foal again, in April)

Dixie (is due to foal in April)

Lil Chip (our proud Stallion)

Star (due to foal in June)

Raven (due to foal - any day now)

You'll see pictures of the Kokomo stallion - he is the daddy to the future little ones. He's not ours.

I hope you enjoy them!!!

Great Lakes FrightFest – the Final Report w/ Pixs links - Lengthy
Posted On 06/20/2008 10:25:49

Before I go any further - I want to Thank my Haunt Space family for all your help!!!

****Due to some situations beyond my control, this is coming out later that I would like****

 

We had an awesome year this year. Our attendee head count was close to 375. We had folks come in from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, Kansas, Texas and several places from Canada.

 

Even with some weather woes, everyone hunkered in and rode it out and then the sun arrived with some enjoyable weather.

 

The Haunters Against Hunger goal this year was 1500 cans goods and once again our wonderful attendees came through for us! We soared pass the 1500! We were able to donate 2010 + non-perishable food items to St. Anne’s Parish food bank and 617 can goods along with 400 pounds of dog food to the local Humane Society. After that, any perishable food items (i.e.: hot dogs, buns, sliced cheese, etc) was taken to the local soup kitchen. So if it wasn’t used, it was donated.

 

We had an Awesome Haunted House this year! Once again, everyone really went all out

to give the best show that they can! This year the judging was very close because there were so many excellent rooms. The haunted house was appox. 3600- 3700 sq. ft. That is counting the add on rooms. A 35’ long vortex tunnel was even brought in this year.

The Haunters shined this year!  We are waiting for the videos and will post them soon!

We have a person who did a documentary of GLFF this year; I can’t wait to see his footage!

 

Our vendors / sponsors and contributors, out did themselves. These supportive folks donated from the heart to support our cause. The goodies that were donated were phenomenal! So to our vendors / sponsors and contributors, you have my heart felt gratitude! Please support the vendors that support Great Lakes FrightFest!

Then there is the S.T.A.F.F. (Support Team At Fright Fest), all the people

who worked their tails off to help keep everything going. We could not

run GLFF without you!! You guys are the ones who are out there on

Memorial Day, to set up the haunted house. Setting up the kitchen area,

and all the canopies. Preparing the food and the cleaning up. The trash

removal crew, registration people, raffle ticket sales… and of course my

tee shirt sales. I have to mention the patience people who run the kids

program and piñata and face painting. The margarita machine keeper!

The children’s blow up Haunted House. Gotta mention the HH Door Greeters

& exit poll takers too! Then we have the tare down helpers and those who come

in an extra day and stay an extra day to help. But I also need mention all the other

folks who jumped right in when something was needed!

To each and everyone of you, Thank you! You all are the core that keeps us going!

From the bottom of my heart, you’ll never know how much I appreciate all of your help.

 

I can’t forget Joyce and Carl, the campground owners. They have taken this wild and

crazy bunch and made each of us feel right at home. They go above and beyond what

they need to do, to make sure that we are well taken care of.

 

Bob Vailliencourt stepped right up with a another tee shirt design and Tom Byrne

(My Hero) for grabbing our tee shirt order and bringing them out to us.

 

Jonathan Johnson from Rotting Flesh Radio, LOL, thank you for everything!

 

This year we were sporting new banners!!! Woo Hoo! Thanks to Toby Wrolson

and his connections, we are able to proudly display our gathering name as well

as Haunters Against Hunger. Thank you Toby!

 

Campsite Decorating contest, that was very cool! It was great to walk through the

campground and experience the feel of the Halloween season – in June!

 

The Hearse parade is always a hit! The look from the other campers is always priceless.

Thank you Lisa Poe for heading that up!

 

Kids Campground clean up contest – what a hoot! Each year we have a contest where

the kids run around with garbage bags, to see who can collect the most trash! For some

reason, each year it has been a draw / tie on the winners . So everyone wins a cash prize!

 

Also, I want to thank everyone for the wonderful keepsake Halloween Ornaments that

was made especially for Brian and I. We will forever cherish them. I can't wait to get them

on my tree!!!!

 

There is one person that I must thank publicly, that is my wonderful husband. I am

the true Halloween freak in our family, but he is always right in the middle of what

ever whim or muse that I have. He is my biggest supporter, my right hand man,

my “make it happen” man, my “he can build anything” man. He is my “Ideal” man

(and no I did not spell that wrong) LOL. Thank you for making GLFF a reality!

 

I know there is someone who is really important that I didn’t mention and I am

truly sorry. Great Lakes FrightFest has grown so much that it takes everyone to

pitch in to help it run smoothly. I am always afraid I will miss someone. Once again,

Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough but I sincerely mean it.

 

Here are some pictures that have been submitted so far and we hope to upload

More to the web site before long! Enjoy!

As my final thought... I just wanted to thank everyone (quite honestly from the bottom of my heart) on this list for the overwhelming positive responses regarding the continuation of Great Lakes FrightFest. You are all a great inspiration for me to make this event the best that it can be to benefit the recipients of Haunters Against Hunger and to all the Haunters and enthusiasts.

Thank You!
