Halloween at the Mansion 2001 was a fabulous event, with approximately 250 attendees. The main star of the evening was, of course, the mansion - the 1868 Pardee Home Museum - enveloped in darkness and available for touring by flashlight. Also available were tarot card and crystal ball readings, ouija playing, coloring and art stations, a photo gallery, a haunted potting shed created by Chiodo Arts, wonderful refreshments from Spettro restaurant, a costume and bloodcurdling scream contest, a graveyard... and the Autopsy Room in the basement, where Dr. George Pardee got a little carried away and began his autopsy on an unfortunate patient who was still alive! Mark your calendars for Oct. 26, 2002, when the fun starts all over again!
