take Halloween very seriously,
so seriously it runs for 28 nights and features more than 5,000 individually hand-carved, illuminated jack o' lanterns,
in the last ten years the event has gone from a few nights in
October to nearly the whole month and more, the event called The
Blaze takes place on the
grounds of Van
Cortland Manor, giving the festivities a suitably spooky feel, and those
who come for the carved pumpkins stay for the thrill of the Horseman's Hollow,
a Sleepy Hollow themed haunted attraction, there will also be tumbling acrobats and circus
characters, slithering ground snakes, a giant spider web, and a
collection of shrunken Little Monsters, a working doomsday grandfather clock,
not to mention that a giant sea serpent that will add some hiss to the Undersea Aquarium while comical, squash-eating Venus
pumpkin traps sprout in the garden, Blaze's perennially popular Jurassic Park
includes a triceratops, a pterodactyl, a brontosaurus, and a T-Rex, this event
has almost everything, I wish I was there! tickets are priced at Adults, $20;
Children 3-17, $16 (Saturdays $25, $20), but
remember to book in advance as some evenings are already sold out, the event is held at Van
Cortlandt Manor and is located on South Riverside Avenue off Route 9 in the
village of Croton-on-Hudson, for details of how to get there have a look here.
