What a haunting night we had in Hidden Springs and Hidden Estates on Halloween! We want to commend all of you for showing up for our kids in true Halloween spirit. We had a record number of trick or treaters and equally as many houses making sure to give kids a safe, spooky and welcoming environment to celebrate. You make all the difference in making core memories and making our neighborhood a wonderful place to live!

 

And what an amazing experience to see our neighborhood show up for our first annual Halloween decorating contest! It was no easy task for our judges to narrow down the three winners. Without further ado, here are the 2024 winners!

 

The Most Haunted House award goes to the "Spooky Scary Skeleton" at 5068 Caspian Ct! The judges were highly impressed by the ambience in and around the graveyard under the trees, with a giant skeleton (with blinking eyes no less). Amazing job!

 

The Best Not-So-Scary House award goes to the "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" house on 7804 White Ash! The amount and level of detail were just incredible.

 

The Best Overall Halloween Home award goes to "Clown Clash" on 6029 Cedar Pine Dr! This house went all out with a scary clown theme, including speaking animatronics.

 

Congratulations to all winners!! You will each receive a $25 gift card in the next few days.
