Thanks everyone for a terrific 2004 display! We ran Friday October 29th thru Sunday October 31st and had excellent weather on Saturday when the ToT's came. We also had the local news KUTV-CBS stop by for a live segment Saturday. Sunday was the 2nd straight Halloween that we were covered in snow. The winds picked up a bit and the snow continued to come down during the night, but the display ran through it all.

New this year was a larger fog machine housed in the mausoleum, with an ABS/PVC pipe fog chiller and distribution system. There are a couple of daytime pics showing the pipe. The fog worked rather well, paticularly Fri. and Sat. night when the winds were pretty mild. Next year I will try to add some lights behind the scene to help illuminate the fog. Many of the well lit night time photos from October 30th are courtesy of my friend and neighbor, Brian Hanson. You'll also find some daytime pics of me testing the Axworthy system.
