Calico Ghost Haunt Day 2

A shot of the blacksmith shop outside made up for the Haunt. I have no idea who the lady is...didn't realize until I uploaded the pix on the computer that she was in the picture.
A ghostly welcome at the front gate.
Klaus the Blacksmith.
This used to be the medicine show wagon...they moved it, painted it a gross color and now it sits doing nothing.
The not so busy town a couple hours before the official haunt begins. Tomorrow night it will be insane!
Only two shows today. Set up seemed slow without James. After all for the last 11 years James was always there with us. To say it is weird to be without him here is an understatement. It's comforting to know he will be with us next week. Still for the light crowds (after all it's still 2 weeks until Halloween) we had good crowds. The only routine I don't think worked out well for these crowds was Seance. Had some problems with in in show one and it just seemed long and anti-climactic in show two so we are cutting it.

Klaus the Blacksmith, a regular here at Calico, was back at his anvil today. He has lost weight and looking healthy.

Wayne "Damage" (that's his moniker during the Haunt) the ranger who is always so helpful, was here today as well.

While setting up an older woman fell over some low rocks and cut her leg open pretty good. The whole thing happened near our stage area. An ambulance eventually had to come up. There was a nice blog clot puddle and they put gravel on it to clean it up. Silly me nearly slipped an fell due to the gravel a little later on.
