Thanks everyone! I plan on getting most of my stuff online. I hate shopping in stores. Plus money is tight so the early I start buying the better. My youngest is 17 so haven't done any decorating recently. The newsletter said to purchase about 2000 pieces of wrapped candy alone. So I'm expecting this to be huge and lots of fun. Last year, they had 2500 kids come thru. There are also guide lines for decorating our site. Nothing to scary, no blood or guts, dismembered parts or anything to that nature. Can't scare the kiddo's!! And the more lights the better. I have been waiting to be able to make this trip for the past 5 yrs.
