If you missed the incredible Halloween celebration in Meridian Saturday night, don’t worry! You’ve still got two more opportunities to experience one of the Treasure Valley’s most elaborate Halloween displays while helping an incredibly important cause.

Saturday, October 17, was the first of three special fundraising nights for Skeletons for St. Jude, and what a night it was!

Families filled the neighborhood, enjoying everything from enormous skeletons and animated Halloween characters to dinosaurs, spooky lighting, bubbles, and a towering 33-foot Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters.

And yes, even Zombie Claus and Mrs. Claus made an appearance!

A Meridian Neighborhood Comes Together for St. Jude

My friends and neighbors, Angelo and Barb, have transformed their Meridian home into an incredible Halloween attraction, with thousands of lights, projections, animatronics, and larger-than-life characters.

It’s something you really need to see in person to appreciate.

And the best part? It’s all about raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, helping children and families facing childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Brent's awesome Skeleton Army is across the street and my own Halloween display, Dead Acres, is just around the corner, and we’re also participating in Skeletons for St. Jude. So there’s even more Halloween fun to explore while you’re in the neighborhood.
