Haunted House Decorating Contest entrants announced

Thank you to everyone who participated in the inaugural Lake Lorraine Haunted House Decorating Contest! We are excited to share our list of entrants — this is a great family or date night activity over Halloween weekend. See more details and the announcement of our winning homes — who receive gift baskets from Lake Lorraine businesses — on our Facebook page.

Here’s the list of entrants and photos of their decor. You can also download a PDF of all the entrants and print it if you’d like.

The inspiration for this event…

Remember “Christmas Lanes” and how families would hop in the car and drive around to see how people decorated their homes for the holidays? In recent years, we’ve noticed a surge of cool Halloween-themed decorated homes. We wanted to promote a fun, safe way for families to celebrate Halloween — and to showcase those decorated homes! We look forward to growing this event in the years ahead.

A reminder — if you need to stock up on some great Halloween decor, we know a few stores you might want to check out!
