Halloween 2025 at the House at Pooh Corner in the Neighborhood of Make Believe in Minot

Ferris Wheel

The most amazing new addition to Pooh Corner this year is the Ferris Wheel! The cute guy did an incredible job of designing a functional Ferris Wheel to hold up to the North Dakota wind. Once upon a time, we had a cute commercial one in our Christmas display. It did not last very long, because the high winds on the plains and the frigid temperatures shattered that plastic like fine crystal dropped onto bricks!

Wizarding World

While he was working magic with creative engineering, I was engineering some magical properties for our happy Hogswarts students to live in and study their favorite spells.

We did not forget our favorite Pooh friends and their pirate theme Halloween costumes! They came back for a new year of fun and tricks and treats!

As long as they were sailing on the seven seas, they decided to stop Down Under and invite everybody’s favorite Blue Heelers to come up and spend Halloween in Minot!

Tigger is greeting everyone who comes up the walk, and the scarecrow kids are waiting patiently with their treat buckets for candy and prizes!

Tigger is Always the OG

Like Peter Pan, the Scarecrow kids do not plan to grow up!

This is where I would normally invite you to the Facebook page to see more pictures, but they have locked us out.

I ran for City Council and they locked me down, made me upload a selfie to “prove my identity” —  then sent me an email claiming it was unlocked. It is not. I spent a full month sending them daily emails, trying to reach ANYONE that could possibly help : Per your email of 8/29, I am contacting you again to let you know I still cannot get into my account! please help!! It is still locked more than three weeks later! Facebook is the modern public square, and the forum the public school uses to communicate information. Even my congresswoman uses her Facebook live to communicate with her constituents! 

Since I was running for a City Council appointment at the time, this debacle may have been caused by a politically motivated complaint.

Please unlock my account!!
