I attended the MidWest Haunt Convention this past weekend.
It was Awesome to meet so many like minded people and even better to see so many of the products everyone speaks about online first hand.
I met Edward Douglas from Midnight Syndicate and purchased my very first CD for my yard haunt. Purchased a new skull (never can have too many), really cool teeth paint for the kids, and Foam Coat along with Boost and Bounce (can't wait to play with these).
