Halloween is approaching and some creative residents in the Okanagan and Kamloops are making things festive in their neighbourhoods with spooky displays.<\/p>\n

Kelowna resident Glenda Schwandt spends weeks ahead of Halloween night setting up her creative display, and adds to it every year.<\/p>\n

“It’s a creative outlet and bonding time for me and my husband,” she said. “It’s about thinking of creative ideas, having fun and watching the reactions of people passing by.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A gruesome dentist table and a coffin are a couple of things Schwandt sets up.<\/p>\n

“Every year we add on to what I have. I might not have the latest and greatest models of things, but I make some myself out of repurposed materials.”<\/p>\n

Lights, inflatable pumpkins and creepy skeletons are just a few of the things decorating front yards this time of year, helping to bring the spirit of Halloween.<\/p>\n
