Our First Popup

By Jerry Seiler

We are new to the Halloween business. Being enthusiasts, we have been celebrating Halloween in several ways since 1999. For several years we had Halloween parties with some sort of mini haunt. The haunts were usually in the garage or covered by canopy tents. Eventually the garage portion became main stream. The neighborhood kids always counted on the garage haunt, year after year.

Sadly, we disappointed them this last year by not doing a haunt. We fell into a situation where we had the opportunity to buy the remaining Halloween inventory from an independent store (not Spirit, City, or Express). We jumped at the opportunity and late in the season opened a small store.

We learned plenty, more than we bargain for. I documented the journey in a series of journal entries that I keep for myself. I will post them in the blog.
