10/30/2005 - Open

So we had the haunt open to the public tonight for the first time... and I am beat.  85 people, mostly Beavers, Cubs and Pathfinders and a few sent over by Lady Dracul (thanks!).  Tonight we had 5 people helping out (well 6 for a bit) which worked pretty well.  Tomorrow we only have Leah and me for most of the day and part of the evening.  That is going to suck!  Already thinking that we might have to scale back our display or change it drastically to enable the wife and me to be able to keep an eye on everything.  What I really need is a garage that I can do a maze in so I can build it well in advance and just lock the doors at the end of the night.  We spent most of today getting the last of the lights in place and setting out all the decorations and then after we closed we took most of them back into the house to make sure they don't 'walk away' tonight.

Time to get some sleep... it all starts again at 10:30 tomorrow morning!
