A Nightmare On Barrow

10/26/2025

UPDATE 11:30am
The display is back up and running!
I had to condense the animatronics from the big tent into the gazebo so it's a bit squishy in there!!
There are a few unplugged while they dry out but hopefully they will be back on in a few hours.

UPDATE 9:30am
It's going to take me awhile to fix this mess up. The tent is not salvageable unfortunately.

****Sunday October 26**** 6:45AM

The display was heavily damaged by the high winds overnight. The large pop up tent took flight, it's still too dark to assess the rest of the damage so I'm not sure whether the animatronics that were inside are ok or not.
I will post an update later this morning however the display will likely be closed today 🙁

Oh my it has gotten so windy and I haven't secured the tent yet 😱. Here's hoping it doesn't take flight overnight 🤞

Hi All, just a heads up that it's pretty windy here today and we have had some blown over animatronics, etc.
I am trying to keep up with fixing things up but there may be parts of the display impacted by the winds.

I am dedicating the display this year to the memory of my nephew, Michael Jordison.
If you visited the display last year you may recall that we were collecting donations to help support Michael through his journey with a rare form of cancer called soft cell sarcoma.
Michael helped assemble some of the new animatronics last year and he came out to our event and may have even chatted with some of you.
Michael fought hard and with so much courage and strength however he sadly passed away earlier this year on March 2nd.
While the loss of Michael has shattered our hearts we are filled with such pride in Michael and we are so grateful for the time we shared with him and the memories we will always cherish 💙

**Sunday October 19**
The wind today has been causing some damage to the display and if it continues we may have to shut it off for the day while we try and finish making repairs.

**Update with more information :

This is a walk through Halloween Display.
Entry is by donation which is totally optional (everyone is welcome regardless of their ability to donate).
This year donations collected will go to my daughter as she is raising funds to help offset the travel expenses for her competitive cheer.

****Please remember that we live in a rural community with no designated parking areas.
Use caution when parking, exiting and entering vehicles.
We have no street lighting so please be prepared, bring/use flashlights where lighting is limited.
Please be respectful to our neighbours and each other.
Stay on the paths where designated keeping in mind that the ground is not level and there could be fallen branches, rock, slippery sections, etc. and may not be suitable for those with mobility challenges.
Please do not touch the display, props and animatronics. A lot of time and expense goes into putting this together and it's really disheartening when preventable damages occur.

Have a Spooktacular visit 🎃 🧟‍♀️ 🤡 🧙 🧛‍♀️ 💀 👿 🎃

We are ready for visitors!!
I still have some little details to add but I think we're ready enough to start welcoming visitors, yay 🎃
The display will be on daily from 10am - 10:30pm from now Thursday October 16th until Saturday November 8th.
More details to come.
We are located at 4709 Barrow Road in Metchosin

Keep following for updates 🎃

I'm welcoming visitors to my hobby farm tomorrow and I will be working on the display in between visits!!
I will post my progress later tomorrow 🎃

ETA: There is no charge to come visit, this is not for profit, it's just my little hobby farm and I am happy to share my fur babies with others ❤️

Welcome Farm Visitors for Sunday September 21st!!

Unless otherwise arranged please come anytime between 10am - 4pm.

Just a heads up I will be working on my Halloween display between visits so there may be some creepy figures in the front yard!

There is not a lot of parking in the driveway so please park along the side of the road.
Once you're parked you can come straight down the driveway, you will see a couple of shipping containers and the gate to access the animals is right across from them.
PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THE GATE, I will meet visitors at the gate to prevent any escaped animals.

I would highly suggest wearing closed toed shoes that are ok to get a little dirty!!

Feel free to send a messsge here or text 250-588-2380 if you have any questions 😊
