I have heard about this place before and finally made to the magical Boo Crew House in San Jose. Every year a neighborhood crew of enthusiasts puts together a differently themed exposition. This year it is WESTERN! Completed with horses, steam train, Saloon, collection of coo-coo clocks, stained glass windows and a collection of cactuses!
Suhita Shirodkar and I went to see the house as it was being built and we were able to sketch there. The house will be ready by the 31st and will be open for two days only. We saw it only halfway done but the amount and scale of imagination, care, invention, craftsmanship, and community that we witnessed is amazing and fascinating to witness!
Here are a few words about their fundraising page to give you some background: "The Boo Crew on Church Drive presents Halloween in the Neighborhood Inc. Every spooky Halloween season since 2009, Bob Schiro and the Boo Crew of San Jose, California construct haunted houses from the ground up with the goal of bringing all communities together for 2 nights of frights and fun! Each event is made possible through recycled materials and props, generous volunteer hours from the Boo Crew members, and with the goodness of our fans and community, their charitable donations. With all of those possibilities, the result is that there is no cost for admission!"
