Spotted in #YEG near Gold Bar park. In support of Edmonton Food Bank @yegfoodbank.bsky.social
Amazing Halloween decorations! Worth a visit!

Sandwich board says “ give the gift of a meal. Please text FEEDYEG to 20222 or donate online at Edmontonfoodbank.com” next to the sign are two pumpkins, one carved, and one painted. In between the pumpkin is a barrel with a skeleton ejecting green liquid from its mouth into the radioactive barrel. Behind the skeleton are aliens and a suspended UFO about 15 feet or 5m above the ground.

A Halloween scene, a front yard filled with characters. Suspended from a tree a flying vampire next to it a flying jack-o’-lantern headed spirit on the ground a 15 foot 3M tall skeleton with a monster pumpkin head in the tree is a skeleton on a swing a couple of animatronic characters next to that some hay bales with a skeleton lying on it a dog house which I am told has a skeleton dog that will pop out and visit you next to that a demon in red next to that a witch and a cauldron, there’s an archway with cobwebs to the front door next to the which there is a suspended UFO about 15 feet or 3 m above the ground Below that or UFO aliens in front of that is a skeleton ejecting water into a radioactive barrel next to that I am not certain but it looks like a multi headed monster about 8-9 feet tall, a sandwich board and a barrel for food bank donations to the EdmontonFoodbank.com or text 20222 to make a donation!
