If you missed or couldn’t go last night Halloween Fest was so much fun! This was our first time for to create a game to go along with our for a huge event!! We asked everyone to help us “Feed the BATS! “ Wow and did they ! Our line stayed long the entire night! There was a huge trick or trunk, tons of other games and really cool activities set up plus we had live music from a really good young local band ! Absolutely zero drama, super friendly families, dogs in costumes, plenty of security to make a very large outdoor area feel safer than Disneyland, generous neighbors who gave us candy when we ran out and more compliments and thank you s than I could even list !! A few friends stopped by to see me in full swing and I love them for it and my tiny Queen Kayleigh youngest dNa volunteer ( not shown ) and momma Sissy huge hug my friends!!! Please note there aren’t pictures of Jay due to me needing to work from the minute I arrived. Jay is the Roy to my Walt. I can’t and won’t and am physically incapable of doing this without him!!! He is a beast at loading and set up. He is great at crowd work and explaining what we do. He had a line the entire time as well but managed to get us videos and funny photos to share. Beyond valuable 😎👍🦇

The Museum is ready on the outside for the holidays but not quite complete inside 🖤👑 For those of you who have visited me through the years as I developed the dNa, well, I think you will be happily surprised by the upgrades. For those of you who have never been out to Gold Canyon, experienced the energy of the Superstition’s, see wildlife and check out the amazing Collection , it’s time! Please don’t “just come”, you do need to contact me for times and directions. This is for privacy and safety reasons. Although you maybe loved and forgiven , I will growl and possibly bite if you randomly show up! 🤣 Need something different to do? Uh.. this might be it. Free even! You big spenders 🤣
