Struggle Mt. Halloween Party 2013

Come in and join us in our yearly dance. In thru the gate and down the path, past the cemetery, and into the big house for the music of The West Pile Boys, Jody and Audra and Aiden's band. A night made alive with the costumes, food, music and dance. Later there will be fire dancing and late night jams, people staying the night and Marks breakfast in the morning.

Handsome couple (Jesse and Melissa) that thought about getting married at our Halloween Party. I don't know about saying I do to the devil, better to wait till our spring party. Maybe he'll be some fertility god or the green man, instead of a red one.

The eye and teeth make Jesse a pretty creepy devil. Nice velvet coat though. He should be drinking Devil's Canyon beer since it's a local one.

Baby Dragon?


Which one is Tweedle Dee and which ia Tweedle Dum? Paul says he must be Tweedle Dum since Mark is older.

Alice as the purple people eater. The more she drank the more she started asking if she could eat you.
She also handed out body parts. Watch out, you were likely to get nudged by that horn of hers.

Pirate Tom - - How are you with that sword?
(photo by Lesley)





Who do you think would be quicker with their sword? Tom or Mark. Maybe Marko since his is drawn. But then Pirate Tom doesn't have a drink in his hand, hasn't for years now.

Princess Mona and her wookie baby. Notice the brain plate on the table behind. Karen and Danny bring a variation of it every year. Probably tastes good but no one ever goes near it because of how it looks.

I think Karen could get best paint job, There were some pretty good ones but she's hard to beat.

If you have any photos to add please add them or send them to me to and I will. Need some of the band, dancing and other people shots. Don't have any of Audra and Aiden playing.


Another great party thanks to all of you that showed up and made it happen.
Happy Hauntings,
Patsy
