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