October 9th, 2009

Get ready folks because it’s October.  Which means it is time to start making your Halloween plans. It is hard to believe this is the fifth year of festivities, but its true. To mark this milestone, the prizes will be bigger, the guest list larger and the costumes more outrageous.  In case you have never attended, we always have a costume and pumpkin carving contest.  We also have some of the best chili around (if I do say so myself – afterall I am the chef)!  If you are in town on October 30, feel free to stop by our house for the festivities.

The rules are the same as every year:
1.) You must come in costume (or risk dirty looks from your peers who have more class and originality than you).
2.) There will be a pumpkin carving contest, so bring your tools and your gourd (or is pumpkin a fruit?)
3.) Food will be provided, but bring your own drinks and/or appetizers.
4.) Costumes and pumpkins will be judged with prizes given to the winners.

As always, the evening will be family / children friendly but with responsible adult fun as well. You are welcome to invite friends.
If you need directions just let me know.  We will begin the fun around 6:30!

Here are some pictures of past Halloween fun:
