Art Friesen and his kids Emily and Jayden in front of the crashed UFO display the family set up on their Willow Dr. front yard for Halloween last Saturday. Friesen says they love the holiday and have a blast putting up different displays each year. “Last year we had a giant spider web up, with a guy hanging from the [light] pole,” he says. “It’s all just for fun. Just a way to get the kids out here ... it seems the more you do in the front yard the more you have.” Part of the fun is also scaring some of older trick-or-treaters—this year Emily hid in the “Area 51” part of the yard behind an alien dummy to freak passing kids out.
