Best Places For Halloween Decorations In Charlotte

The last day of October, Halloween, is one of the most popular holidays of the year. People are transformed into ballerinas, space men and hobgoblins of all sorts. Decorating for Halloween depends on what you are trying to accomplish. You may be decorating yourself as well as your home. A fun party for little ones or a festive gathering for grown folks dressed up as alter egos may be in the works. You may need more space to host a grand event away from home with the help of party planners. This list will provide some local sources to meet your every need.
Hodges Family Farm

Any list of Halloween decor items must include pumpkins, to be carved in friendly or fearsome Jack O' Lanterns, or cooked in pies and breads. Get your pumpkins at the Hodges Family Farm and you won't have to travel outside of the city of Charlotte. While you are at it, take the kids along for the tour of the pumpkin patch for a reasonable fee. They can meet and pet the resident animals and ride in a corn maze to add to their Halloween experience. Everyone who takes the tour gets to choose their own pumpkin to take home.

Another necessary aspect of Halloween decor is self adornment. Morris Costumes is a perennial source of costumes and masks all year long. Judging by its display, it supports Halloween in an over-the-top way. Halloween home decor items are also available. Outside decorations, door and window covers, seasonal lights and trick-or-treat bags are also for sale. Be aware that little children who accompany you on this shopping trip may be frightened by gross looking Halloween ghouls hanging by the entry.
