HALLOWEEN 2011
We raised over £400!!
For Watling View SLD School, St.Albans & Young Carers in Hertfordshire
In late September 2011 we decided that our Halloween Fundraiser would be to decorate a House and Garden as a 'Haunted' House with lights and music for a couple of days.....if a few people stopped, enjoyed it and donated then that would be great!
What we didn't realise was how large the task would turn out to be........
We had just over a month to plan and make, then just under a day to put it all together - a mile of wiring, thousands of lights, bags of webbing, smoke machines, etc..... it wasn't easy!
This page is to give you some idea of what it was like (pictures at the bottom of the page)
and an opportunity to say "THANK YOU" to all those who helped make it a success:
LEE at SETS & EFFECTS U.K
for use of the light & music system, the projector, smoke machines, etc and for help setting it all up
REECE & GARY
For watching the CCTV overnight to ensure everything was safe and didn't get too damaged by the weather and/or local wildlife!
MATILDA & LEWIS
For dressing up, handing out sweets (and not eating all of them themselves!)
HARVEY
For the Thriller Routine.....again...
LUCY at PARTY PACKS
For the help and advice with decorations.
EVERYONE WHO CAME, LOCAL SHOPS, HEMEL RESIDENTS, ETC...
To those who advertised, passed on the details, donated, visited from Hemel and beyond..
This was our first time, and we were overwhelmed - THANK YOU!!
NEXT YEAR WILL BE EVEN BIGGER & BETTER!!!!!!
