Barb Langhorn loves Halloween.
Just drive by her home at 2316B Willemar Ave. in Courtenay and see for yourself.
Virtually every inch of her yard 乌鸦传媒� and carport 乌鸦传媒� is covered in Halloween regalia, and yet somehow she manages to add to it every year.
乌鸦传媒淚 do it because I love to see the kids happy,乌鸦传媒� she said. 乌鸦传媒淚t乌鸦传媒檚 one day a year that I can give back a little.乌鸦传媒�
As one half of a duplex, she shares the lot, but she said her next-door neighbours are very accommodating.
乌鸦传媒淭hey are great with it. They bring the kids over, as many of the neighbours do.乌鸦传媒�
The display features skeletons of all shapes and sizes 乌鸦传媒� even one of a horse 乌鸦传媒� Jack-o-lanterns, ghosts, goblins, witches and warlocks. There is a spooky merry-go-round, and even a band of skeletons playing in the carport.
乌鸦传媒淭hey play their own music 乌鸦传媒� banjo and guitar.乌鸦传媒�
Projectors that show werewolves and witches and dancing skeletons will be set up for Halloween night. There is even an interactive station for the trick-or-treaters.
乌鸦传媒淭he table has things they can touch and play with - books that move, and just different little things,乌鸦传媒� said Langhorn.
Langhorn adds to the display every day until Oct. 31. The star of the show is her fire-breathing dragon, which will be the final piece assembled.
乌鸦传媒淗e乌鸦传媒檚 the last thing we put up. He is very delicate乌鸦传媒� the wings and such,乌鸦传媒� she said. 乌鸦传媒淗e breathes fire, blows smoke, has blue eyes. He will be up for Halloween night.乌鸦传媒�
Langhorn has no idea how many ornaments and features she has on display, but she does know she is running out of room on her lawn.
乌鸦传媒淥h, I乌鸦传媒檝e already run out of room,乌鸦传媒� she said.
乌鸦传媒淣ext year we will probably fill up the rest of the room on the (second-floor) deck. That乌鸦传媒檚 where the dragon goes.
Langhorn gets in on the act as well. She makes sure to dress up in order to entertain the trick-or-treaters on Halloween.
乌鸦传媒淟ast year I was a dinosaur. This year I will be the Queen of Hearts,乌鸦传媒� she said.
