Day 23, 2016 – Ciao!

Ciao !!

The bags are packed and the Skeleton crew are travelling to Washington  – with only 6 days left until the US Presidential Election,

There is still time for skeletons to come out of the closet for nominees.

WE DID IT!  Today celebrates day 23 and  55  skeleton displays with NO REPEATS! Over the past 3 years!

Only time will tell if the skeletons will resurface next year.  We would love to hear your ideas for next year’s displays!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THE DISPLAYS A SUCCESS !!

Especially Linda Mae Ogilvie – Trillium Art – our late-night blogger and photo editor.  The skeletons blog would never have been created without you!

CBC Radio – Fresh Air & Ontario Morning Producers – Thank you for sharing our skeleton story.

Mike Beitz – Beacon Herald – for the great photos & articles.

Chris Steingart – QT Web Design – for the SVL Logo – which is very easy to carve on a pumpkin!

Friends, neighbours, strangers – who lent props, and made suggestions.  Teresa & Andy for their one-liners &  Rheo Thompson Candies

My wonderful neighbours – this was one way to slow traffic on our street!

Thank you to all the skeleton fans who spread the word on social media – the response has been amazing, we now have followers in over 15 countries around the world.

Thank you to the skeleton fans who stopped by our house especially  E. Lang, G & D Scott, Jule & Sloan,

This has been an incredible experience.  We have met so many interesting people.

Who knew skeletons could make so many people laugh.  It proves that skeletons are fun – unless you are running in the US presidential election.

We are so happy that you SMILED,  LAUGHed  with us, and ENJOYed the Antics

Thank you,
~ Melissa

  1. I am fairly new to the area…and this has been wonderful. Great entertainment…my dog, Bill was very suspicious of the skeleton dogs….always giving them a big sniff, never peed on them though. Thanks for providing this fall/hallowe’en fun time.

  2. Because we couldn’t drive by everyday to see what antics the skeleton crew was up to we really enjoyed following them on the blog……thanks for all you work.

  3. I am full of admiration for the ingenuity combined with the time and effort devoted to entertaining the neighbours and passersby as well as the people who listened to CBC and followed the blog. I live in Owen Sound and forwarded it to our grandchildren who live in BC

  4. This was wonderful, but so sad that I just discovered this thanks to the CBC near the end. Hope Trick and the gang have a wonderful adventure for the next 11 months and can’t wait to see them again… Um, with the wedding and all I’m wondering if there with be any “new additions” when we meet again.

    1. We are looking forward to next year already, and already working on ideas. I guess we will know in another 9 months if there are any new additions. Thank you for your comments, glad you are part of the skeleton fan club!

  5. I soo enjoyed the daily emails. I forwarded them off to my kids at university. They looked forward to them. Thank you. Thank you. Till next year. Ciao
