Kreepfest Saturday

Another missed post - again with apologies here it is:

Saturday's Kreepfest, held in Harrisonville, Missouri,began with the gathering of friends both old and newly made. The ice breaker game started the festivities, followed by a detailed coffin building demonstration. Darkman showed us how to create a full size coffin from one sheet of 4'x8'plywood, a few 1'x2's and a piano hinge. The coffin then became one of many door prizes that would be given away at the end of the night. After Darkman's sawdust was cleared, it was time for the BBQ. Burgers, Hot Dogs, Smoked Sausages, and Hot-n-Spicy sausages were donated by Stonegate Cremetorium, and thanks to the visitors to Kreepfest, there were salads, chips, cookies, cake... no one went hungry. As our food settled, we began everyone's favorite game, "Pagan Idol". A Karaoke contest to make a straight song spooky. The Farmer in the Dell became "The Bodies in the Well" for example. Once we'd crowned the winner, Miller's Paranormal Research arrived to speak to us all on haunts they have visited and the things they have seen. Door prizes were given away and no one went home empty handed. We adjourned to go dress for Zombie Prom. The Celebration Deck never knew what it was in for! Dancing, drinking, laughing, and, of course, scaring the straights, we laughed into the wee morning hours. Only when we absolutely had to did we creep off to our beds to slumber and wake anew for Sunday's make-n-take day.
