The Dead Ends on Spruce

Thank you MLive.Com!

The elaborate front yard display at Dead Ends on Spruce has drawn tens of thousands annually since 2017, but Traverse City officials cite concerns about operating a large-scale attraction in a residential zone.

All is quiet here at the Dead Ends. Almost halfway through the month, so many new faces have visited and looking forward to seeing even more! Come experience this before and on Halloween! And as for the big day…have we got some surprises lying in wait….

Have you met Delilah? She’s pretty amazing guarding her dungeon nest here at the Dead Ends!

Folks, this October is flying by! Every night we are visited by so many amazing people! Many have returned multiple times with more family and friends to enjoy the experience! So many different interactions, details and stories to be heard, memories to be shared.

We’re about ready to have more giveaways to take home each visit, more candy everyday while all leading up to the big dance, Halloween!! And wow, we already have quite a night planned with a teaser, the Cherryland Ghostbusters will all be hanging out with us that night; just to start. More details to come!

The grand opening is still on, 6 PM tonight! Don’t let this rain keep you away, there’s a reason why I’ve put a canopy over the whole display 🙂
