Show Review: Scares That Care Weekend

~ Cynthia Abernathy

Hello again! We are entering our slow time between shows, so I’m getting caught up on all of my show photos and such from this past year. Then it’ll be time for year in review and fun planning for next year!

Scares That Care Weekend is one of our favorite events. It is not our most profitable, but it’s a weekend of awesome people who love horror and trying to do good for charity. This year, we got a whole conference room to fill with our stuff however we wanted. Up side – we could show off a lot of stuff and be creative with our display. Downside – the second floor gets less traffic and the room we chose was… well, more hidden than we realized.

… and into room 14! We posted lots of these posters to try and help people find us. Plus, first show with our new logo!

Room was an unusual shape, but that meant we could set up a nice sales and work table.

More shadow box kits! People got a good laugh out of these.

Costumes around the event were awesome. The Chanels and the Red Devil came for a visit.

Even out in the parking lot people were having a silly, fun, horror time.

Huge thanks to all of our helpers who showed people where we were!

We are already paid up for next year. We will be on the second floor again, but in a more obvious room next time. And we’ll go even further on atmosphere and display!
