2025 CIWT NEIGHBORHOOD HALLOWEEN DECORATING CONTEST WINNER
WHOLE HOUSE
Ciwt also considered Emeritus retirement for this Exceptional whole house repeated winner.
But then she reconsidered for two reasons (beyond how extraordinary it is!). One, the logistical arrangements the owners make to create it. She lives near it, and on the very last day of September trucks and workers rolled up, blocked the streets, clearly there for an important unnamed project. Then, the next morning, promptly on October 1st, Halloween month, we woke up to this fright site! Perfect, and she's sure tricky, timing!
Secondly, over the years she has watched interest in the house grow. The first years the house was decorated there was no indication it was being noticed (by anyone other than Ciwt for her her contest). Interest seemed to grow slowly after that but it was barely perceptable. This year, though, cars were stopping or doubling back with people getting out to take pictures and there were often individuals or small groups with cameras standing in front of it. The Black House being taken over by skeleton for Halloween has created its own buzz around the city (and beyond?).
Congratulations, neighbors. Well deserved!!
