The links right after the article contain the games Sarah created for her carnival. For prizes, they were mainly candy but also little toys she bought at her local dollar store.

I have been having “yard haunts” for years which have become quite large, around 150 people! In October 2006, my daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. That year, as I was planning another haunt (under a bit of stress) I realized that these parties were what made our family happy and it made a lot of other people happy, too! So, this year I have decided to make the haunt even BIGGER and turn it into a fundraising event for Cystic Fibrosis. I am planning to get the local high school drama club involved to be my monsters and have contests, food, a dj, etc. Being that I have never done anything quite so big (i’m hoping for at least 200!) I could really use some ideas. This site offers quite a bit! If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them. You can either e-mail me or go to my website. Sorry for the long URL! It’s one of those freebies.
Thanks,
Yours in haunting,
Alicia

I would love to see your pictures and learn more about how you did your haunted carnival. We plan to have a haunted carnival next year on my son’s Halloween birthday. We plan to block the street for the event so we will have a large area. I plan to have a couple of inflatables, plus a magician, fortune teller and DJ. I haven’t worked anything else out yet, but we’ve got almost a year to plan. Never too early to start, though . . .
