Ravencrest Cemetery

Its almost time for the 'Ween, and we're busting our humps to get things set up! Given our general lack of preparedness this year, and even greater lack of time, its a bit frightening (it IS Halloween, afterall). But after an entire Sunday of setup we are getting closer. The wind is fierce, but we've put a lot of effort into "Kansas-proofing" our props this year. By Saturday evening we should be all set up! Behold, our new cemetery columns!

Those puppies stand 6 and a half feet tall...with another 6-8 inches hidden below the surface of the ground. That's right, the welded frame of 1-inch tubular steel is actually over 7 feet tall, and driven into the ground for anchoring. Then 1/2-inch plywood with a faux-stone finish was attached and I'm sure those things weight close to 100 lbs each now...we'll pretty them up more next year, but for now, we're very happy with them.
