Monster Bash 2017

This year marked 20 years of Monster Bash.

It was great to see our friends again.

They have become like family to us.

On Saturday Morgan and Brad came to see everyone. It had been 7 years since she had been to Monster Bash.

I'm not sure Brad knew what to think.....

We had fun dressing Bindi up each day.

Noah always enjoys seeing everyone too.

Monster Bash 2016

 

Monster Bash is a convention that is geared toward the classic monsters like Frankenstein, Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon etc. We've been going to the Monster Bash for the last 17 years. We have met a lot of great friends over the years. In as much that Monster Bash has become a family reunion. The first person that always greets us when we come in is Eddie. He is a sweet kind hearted gentlemen. He is always so excited to be at Monster Bash.

 

Around everyone corner is a classic monster.

Jon and Mary are good friends of ours. The last couple of years they helped raise money to help out with Noah. They have helped purchase Noah's bed, several years ago they helped pay for ABR training  and last year they helped with Noah's ramp and our new porch. What a blessing they are.In case you want to check out their website. Femme Fatale Records

Monster Bash has a movie room where they show black and white movies, have guest that played in the movies and a comedian named Don Reese. Don is a good friend of ours as well. Some of you may remember when Don came to our very first fundraiser for Noah.

This year Mark Statler presented Don with some headgear.I know he looks goofy but it brought back memories of one of his jokes he used to use  years ago that included talking about wanting an antenna on his head. Now he has his antenna.

On Sunday morning the Bash offers church. Father Mike does an awesome job.

Another good friend Barb Heiss with the Robot Monster

Noah with Abbott and Costello.

The Sheaffer Family with Brian Nichols.

Scott and Greg Nicotero, of KNB EFX Group and second unit director of The Walking Dead. Greg wasn't a planned guest he just popped in to see Tom Sivini.

The Sheaffer Family with Sam Borowski. He is the producer of a Creature Feature: 60 Years of the Gillman It's a documentary about the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Noah is in it at the very end when he was 5 years old.

Noah  bashed out in the hotel lobby on Sunday night.

A Bash tradition, dinner out with friends on Sunday night.

Bash goodbyes usually start on Sunday night and continue on Monday morning. Until next time.

 

Usually our first hello is also our last goodbye. Love ya Eddie, until next time.

Monster Bash 2014

Fifteen years ago we started going to a classic monster convention called Monster Bash. Over the years it became less of place to watch all the classic monstrer movies and more of a reunion. We have met a lot of great friends and they have become like family to us.

It was great to get back at Monster Bash this year. Last year we were unable to attend. 

Noah found his car he wants to drive. He is 16 you know.

Friends of ours Mark and Diane Mazurczak, gave Noah this amazing Creature from the Black Lagoon quilt. Noah is well loved at Monster Bash. Thank you guys so much. He loves it.

This our friend Eddie. It has been 3 summers since we last saw him. Eddie is a guy that has a special place in our hearts. Until next year Eddie, we love you and miss you already.

It was so good to see Don Reese perform over the weekend. He's always so funny. If you ever see that he is performing near you don't miss it, you won't be sorry.

Don was presented with the much deserved Monster Bash Forry award, Saturday night. We love you Don.

Before we left Sunday morning we had breakfast with everyone. Here are our good friends Jerry Goodwin and Don Reese.
