Before and after Halloween

I'm going to post about this again, and give some more information. The Washington, DC High Heel Races, or drag races will be on Oct 28th on 17th St, between Church and R. The street will be closed and the race begins at 9pm not far from the door of JR's. It's organised by JR's and Delta Lambda Phi. Pictures from last year's race.

Next is a post-Halloween tradition. Every year the week-end after Halloween, tens of thousands of people set up camp for the week-end on the beach in Long Neck, Deleware. It's called Pumpkin Chuckin' and people spend hundreds of dollars on machines to chuck a pumkin as far as they possibly can. There are rules and even suggestions for spectators. It's a good time, especially if you like to see gourds fly high and far into the air.

Speaking of, it's also time for Lawyer's Moonlight Maze. It takes about two hours to go through and you will get lost. The best thing, running around a corn field with a flashlight playing tag. Yea. I can't wait.

For more of a traditional scare there is Calleva's 11th annual Haunted Forest. There is both a haunted trail through a forest and a haunted bus. The thing that makes me like this one, it requires a waiver form. Oh, makes me think of the haunted housing that I used to do in Kansas City.
