Keep Portland Weird, ed 2

by Sarah Gould

P1010468.JPGWant to keep doing weird things in Portland? Check out the “weird” events that are occurring from now until Sunday! (This is a perfect time of year for weird Portland events, by the way!)

Fright Town - The Pacific North West’s Scariest Haunted House, October 24-31, under the Portland Memorial Colosseum, go to the website to get a coupon worth up to $10 off your ticket in! Baron Von Goolo’s Museum of Horrors adds a madhouse of humor & horror to Fright Town! Elshoff Manor is bigger & scarier than ever, and Black Box is a “non-stop free-fall” into darkness! Something to scare everyone if you ask me!

Glowing Greens Miniature Golf is presenting Blacklight Adventures at Halloween this year! They bring together black lights, putt putt golf and Halloween all in one location. They offer an unforgettable adventure while simply playing mini-golf!

The 13th Door moves to a new location this year (The Washington County Fair Complex in Hillsboro) but is still ready to share their “frite lights” with you. Get ready to be condemned!!! Oooh, and watch out for the ginormous spiders that are said to be roaming around the condemned building!

Darklady’s Haunted Gothic Wedding Polyween is not for those under 21 or for those with a faint heart. No matter what you call the end-of-October holiday (Halloween, Hallowe’en, All Hallows’ Eve, All-hallow-even, Oíche Shamhna, Allantide, Hop-tu-Naa, Calan Gaeaf, Samhain, or even Pooky Night) - Darklady presents a lustful event for those willing to branch out. There is a potluck, a real cloakroom, a vow renewel ceremony & celebration and even a wedding cake from The Naughty Baker!

About Portland, OR

There are a lot of misconceptions about Portland, Oregon. We are not all communists, we are not all hippies, and many of the females do in fact shave. Portland is a vibrant, progressive community that balances the native with the newcomer, the eco-minded with the lumber industry, and the natural with the urban. About Portland, OR is a home for all the contradictions.
