A few Celebration-related Halloween items for you.

There’s this house on Jeater Bend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7F0_Vowh7g) that is visually and technically impressive.

The Trail of Nightmares downtown at Lakeside Park runs tonight, Saturday, and Sunday. There are plenty of other activities down there, too, for people of all ages if you’re not interested in the Trail itself.

I can’t seem to find a public link to it at the moment, but there will be traffic control in place for Halloween on Sunday. From 5 to 9 most of the core of Celebration will be restricted to only residents and those with orange passes. Trick-or-treaters will be directed to Celebration Place where they will be bused to one of several spots inside the town. Every year there are horror stories from residents and observers about horrific traffic problems. Celebration wasn’t designed for an influx of thousands of people coming here and expecting to park on our streets. There are several lines of thinking on the internal web board, ranging from SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING. to Just Deal With It. Most people seem to fall somewhere in the middle: that we want to be welcoming to those that do decided to come, that at the same time we don’t want to advertise ourselves as being The Place! for Halloween trick-or-treating, and that it’s imperative above all else that roads remain serviceable for emergency traffic like fire and ambulance. I don’t envy what the Traffic Task Force has been charged with in that even the most optimal solution possible will still alienate probably a third of the people.

That’s about it. With any luck, photos and stories to follow. If you have some photos you’d like to share, please send them to blogmail@celebrationblog.com and I’ll post them here with a credit.

Update: Our one-year-old’s big score. About average for five houses or so.
