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 含羞草研究社� and carport 含羞草研究社� is covered in Halloween regalia, and yet somehow she manages to add to it every year.
含羞草研究社淚 do it because I love to see the kids happy,含羞草研究社� she said. 含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 one day a year that I can give back a little.含羞草研究社�
As one half of a duplex, she shares the lot, but she said her next-door neighbours are very accommodating.
含羞草研究社淭hey are great with it. They bring the kids over, as many of the neighbours do.含羞草研究社�
The display features skeletons of all shapes and sizes 含羞草研究社� even one of a horse 含羞草研究社� 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.
含羞草研究社淭hey play their own music 含羞草研究社� banjo and guitar.含羞草研究社�
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.
含羞草研究社淭he table has things they can touch and play with - books that move, and just different little things,含羞草研究社� 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.
含羞草研究社淗e含羞草研究社檚 the last thing we put up. He is very delicate含羞草研究社� the wings and such,含羞草研究社� she said. 含羞草研究社淗e breathes fire, blows smoke, has blue eyes. He will be up for Halloween night.含羞草研究社�
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.
含羞草研究社淥h, I含羞草研究社檝e already run out of room,含羞草研究社� she said.
含羞草研究社淣ext year we will probably fill up the rest of the room on the (second-floor) deck. That含羞草研究社檚 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.
含羞草研究社淟ast year I was a dinosaur. This year I will be the Queen of Hearts,含羞草研究社� she said.
