BAYERS LAKE:<\/strong> If you\u2019re looking to get your scare on, then the Glow Halloween store has all your ghoul and goblins need for this Halloween.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some have thought COVID19 may put a kibosh to any talk of door-to-door trick or treating on Oct. 31, it\u2019s full steam ahead for the Glow Halloween in Bayers Lake, said Paula Beck-Mackenzie, the protector of all things scary at the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Laker News had a tour of the facility in Bayers Lake and saw the many variety of Halloween costumes; makeup; clown themes; and outside and indoor d\u00e9cor that they\u2019re selling to make Halloween the spookiest ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a lot of work to get the stores in tip top shape for the month of October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe do two big stores and we put them both together within 3-4 weeks\u201d said Beck-MacKenzie. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of long days and nights\/ We have a crew that comes into setup the racking; others that price; then more to setup merchandize and decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe take great pride in the way it looks right now knowing how much work we put into it. I have a fabulous staff. Both stores are great.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[adrotate group=”1″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main thing for Beck-Mackenzie is that everyone enjoys what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work for a short season, but it\u2019s a lot of fun as well.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlights of outdoor scares is a horse rider that speaks to you about getting your soul as you walk in front of it. It has three different sayings, which if not expecting it can give you a spook. It did me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beck-MacKenzie is anticipating the Halloween season to not be impacted, sale wise, because of COVID19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c Halloween is still happening but due to Covid it is just being done a different way. Our staff have been helping people plan safe ways to celebrate the holiday. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the ideas that Beck-Mackenzie suggested were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set up grave stones in the yard and hide candy around for the kids to hunt like Easter eggs. Have a neighbourhood costume parade where the route is predetermine and marked to maintain social distancing . \u201cOne of my favourite ideas is the Fairy Tale Forest- Plan a path through neighbouring woods or park and let it with glow sticks , flash lights and more. Line the trail with Halloween props, decor , candy and surprises.It will be a winner with the kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more popular costumes and Halloween related items are from the hit NETFLIX TV series, Tiger King. Others they have include Penny Wise, Scream, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beck-MacKenzie said the store has the hottest kids costume available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe most popular costume for kids is the inflatable T-Rex,\u201d said Beck-MacKenzie. \u201cThat\u2019s really popular.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said they have an assortment of makeup and hairspray, and even fireworks on sale for Oct. 31. They can design a firework show just for you as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something for everybody here,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can come in and we can get you something from your baby to your grandmother. We\u2019ll find a costume for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween 2020 falls on a Saturday Night, Full Moon, a blue moon and there is an extra hour because the clocks go back. How can we not celebrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Glow Event Store in Bayers Lake is open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday\u00a09 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 12PM- 5:00 PM.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
