Halloween Fun at NLC

Mirror Mirror
on the wall,
which land is the
   fairest of them all?
Some say the Land
of Far Far Away
but others know
New Life

wins the day!


2023
It began in a way like any other day,
Till we found ourselves in a place
       Called “Far Far Away”…

Shrek’s swamp has been invaded!  To fix the situation, Shrek and his wife, Fiona, must ask her parents, the King and Queen of Far Far Away, for help. 
Everyone has moved in, Three Blind Mice, Puss n’ Boots, Pinocchio and his father Geppetto, Donkey and his wife, Dragon along with their “donkey-dragon babies”…even Lord Farquaad had no where else to go!




 
 


If the King and Queen can’t help,
Shrek may head off to New York and
ask the Avengers for their assistance!
He has a “green cousin”
who owes him a favor!

2022  Pirates of the Caribbean!

Ahoy there mattie! 


The Black Pearl has landed and the crew has come ashore.  The "Peg-legged" pirate could knock you over with a stick!  The voodoo queen, Calypso, was entrancing as she set her sites on the handsome pirate, Tom but he had eyes for the spicy wench sitting on deck.  Angelica was determined to slit the dapper Captain Jack Sparrow's throat for leaving her on that island, but the buccaneer is too clever. 


The rest of us, well, after the parrot is "knocked off" so he can't reveal the secret location, we have chosen to take our treasure booty to the nearest tavern for a mug of ale and a warm fire to sit by.  We will share our sea faring stories and tell of the strange land called "Far Far Away" with a giant ogre and his wife.  Perhaps we'll go there next year...

 

2021 The Peanuts Gang was here...the question is...

where is their picture?  Well, ya know, the gang is "quite a bit older now" and it looks like they have misplaced it and then they "high tailed" it for the Caribbean!  Charlie Brown said he always wanted to be a pirate and his gang said, "let's go!"  Check them out Halloween 2022!  Ahoy matti!

2020 Winnie the Pooh


It has been a "challenging" year but the Hundred Acre Wood has survived and thrived!  Winnie, Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, Roo and the honeybees, did their very best to keep the happy, loving and "hugging" spirit alive!
 


Winnie had a mission that
started in April...

 

This is the year to conquer fear...
so for just a while...help people smile!


2019 Keeping his "Gru Crew" of minions in line...



was a full time job for Gru and his dog Kyle this year.  What a menagerie of characters including a construction worker, a couple of "computer geeks", "poka dot green dress" girl, a pair of hippies, the "sewing" minion, the beach comber, the golfer and her "mini-me" minion pup and the fireman, who enjoyed her bull horn...way way wayyyyy...too much!  Fun is fun but man...that's alot of yellow dude!

 

2018 Hogwarts Magic!

2017 MUPPETS


2017...the show expanded and went on to Broadway as the Muppets took Manhattan and the office.  Everyone loved the show, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Ralph the dog, Fozzy Bear, the Swedish Chef, Scooter, Janice (like fersure man...)...only Waldorf and Statler didn't enjoy it, but then, are they ever happy!?!

2014...Dorothy landed in the Land of Oz.  Her house took a major hit but she was greeted by wonderful friends, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, Glenda the "Good Witch" and the Tinman (he was in the bathroom when pictures were taken).  Everyone helped her conquer the Wicked Witch with ease, snagging the ruby slippers and making it back to Kansas in time for dinner!

 

2013 GILLIGAN'S ISLAND


2013...Everyone from Gilligan's Island was stranded here.  Gilligan, the Skipper, Mr and Mrs Howel, Maryann and Ginger made it just fine, only the Professor couldn't last the day!

 

2012 ADDAMS FAMILY


2012...got a little weird here with the Addams Family including Gomez, Mortica, Wednesday, Uncle Fester, Lurch, Thing, Cousin Itt and their pet lion, "Kitty".  With clients strapped into the electric chair for pictures, the day was "electrifying"....
