Knott’s Halloween Haunt 2013 Preview!

Have you been to the Scary Farm? If you have, then you know the excitement and planning that goes into it every year and how frightful it can be. The other week, I had the pleasure of attending Knott’s Scary Farm 2013′Preview/Media event.

Knott's Scary Farm

As the 41st year of the Knott’s Scary Farm Haunt creeps up on us, with all it’s guts and glory, it is exciting to announce what’s in store for this treasured Haunt!  The 41st year of this annual Haunt promises more fright, more fun, more foreboding than the past 40 years have wrought. What is there already for this year’s haunt you ask? Read below to find out!

Mortals who were there to announce this years tales from the crypt:

  • Jeff Tucker – Supervisor of Live Shows
  • Brooke Walters – (Design Supervisor) Designer of Haunt mazes such as Doll Factory, Virus Z, Terro Dominion of the Dead, Trick or Treat
  • Lara Hanneman – (Director of Entertainment Production)
  • Daniel Miller –  (Design Specialist) Pinocchio Unstrung,  Delirium, Black Magic
  • Timothy “Gus” Krueger – (Design Specialist)  Uncle Willy’s Slaughterhouse, Dia de los Muertos, Endgame

Returning Mazes:

  1. Trick Or Treat: Ummmm I don’t think I’d really want to go Trick or Treating here! Trick Or Treating in a witches house? No Thanks! 😉
  2. Pinocchio: Unstrung – Murderous marionettes seeks the flesh of maze visitors to cover Pinocchio’s twisted, wooden body. Sounds like some twisted puppet string fun?
  3. Delirium – The stuff that nightmares and insanity is made of. Fun times right? Maybe if you like being scared… 😉
  4. Uncle Willy’s Slaughterhouse – This just sounds wrong. A deranged butcher runs a barbecue restaurant? Don’t think I’d want to eat at this restaurant!
  5. End Games – Gladiators battle to the death for the entertainment of the rich and powerful. Some good clean gory fun never hurt anyone, right?

What would the Halloween Haunt be without the Knott’s Design Team using their haunted twisted powers to create a few NEW terrifying mazes to spook the living daylights out of you. All in the name of fun of course. 😉

Come & Get it at the Orange County Fair!

*Disclosure: I was given media passes to come and enjoy the fair for purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions remain my own. I have been a huge fan of this fair all my life, growing up here in Southern California! *

It’s that time again! The OC Fair is back in it’s full glory for another fun filled summer month of food, fun, entertainment, exhibits, rides, animals and more now through August 11th, 2013. Orange County is ringing the dinner bell and inviting fairgoers from all around to “Come & Get It.”

This favorite tradition of many folks in Southern California, including myself are sure to enjoy this theme of “Come & Get It.” You will be able to get your  fill of giant turkey legs, fried foods from Chicken Charlies, Texas sized donuts that are maple glazed with bacon on top, funnel cakes, roasted corn, cotton candy, ice cream and tons of other tasty options on a stick, from the BBQ or deep-fried favorites. Take a look at some of the delectable offerings here! 🙂 YUM!

A fair favorite, you have to have a turkey leg while at the fair! Especially when it is covered with bacon! Oh my, so GOOD!
