Jamie Brick is the artisan and landowner who created the show. The whole event was well-organized, with many volunteers. They have a Facebook page. Parking and admission is free. This article estimated that they get 5000 people per day. I'd believe it.
We had to leave Grampa at home, as there wasn't room in the car. You'll have to forgive all the photos, but Grampa wanted to know what we did and who we saw! I made most of them smaller, so you could just flip through, clicking on ones that interest you.
He sent us on our way. I took the iPhone, and didn't realize his cell flip phone was in the car. Good thing he didn't have an emergency!
You walk through the gate into the forest, where there is a lovely arch.
Elf ears were everywhere!
The sculpture is by Wilma van Wyngaarden. |
This man explained that he built this shelter, and as long as he returns he gets to use it for the show. About Face, Tony Deluca.
There were musicians in the group. This is the stage.
This is Jamie Brick, who created the whole event, sitting on his Elf King Throne!
Lots of costumes, lots of dogs!
Grampa gave the girls $20 each. Josephine bought a beautiful necklace from Mariah Hounsell (Lady Lilith Creations), with a real spider web in it, to add to her jewelry collection. The webs are sourced in a park, sprayed to set them, then stuck onto the foundation with hairspray.
Isabelle bought a necklace, it was refitted for her, and Momma chipped in some cash.
Now, I wanted a photo of the two men chatting, in costume. I snapped a photo of us in the mirror.
There were so many wonderful volunteers. We waited for our bus back to the main parking area.
Notice the dark skies! It could have rained, it just sprinkled a bit, though. I drove us home, they had some lunch, and back to the city they went. They've a few more things to do before school begins on Tuesday.
