• Trunk or Treat 2020

Sadly the yearly Trunk or Treat event, which is one of the most popular park happenings in town, had to be cancelled along with most of 2020's events.

However, that didn't stop Wildomar parks team from coming up with an alternative: Drive In Laser Show.

One of the many decorations that adorned Marna O'Brien park.

Fun and lively tunes were played by Robert Walker of Heyday Events to lasers overhead and some videos on three different screens. 

I didn't get a lot of great photos of the event. For all the wonders a smartphone camera is capable of, capturing lasers at night (or anything else in the dark) doesn't seem to be among them. 😁

A look at the early set up. The white vacuum exhaust looking hose was where mist was made. The mist was to give the lasers something to bounce of off.

There were two shows

The first started at 7pm and the second show started at 9pm.

What may not have been apparent is that this type of show is new, a work in progress. Heyday Events has put on countless shows over the years, but drive in laser shows are a new frontier and a lot was learned from the first show to the second show.

Another great decoration... that in another pic had his purple horns sticking out of my head... just look below. 😳

I'm telling you, those purple horns are *not* part of my costume. 😁

The second show had a lot more audience participation. From horn honking, light flashing and having people do their best Halloween scary laughs, werewolf impersonations and screams. It was so much fun to be part of. 

The first show was over by 7:45pm. I didn't see any cars lining up for the second show. I was starting to think it was going to be a bust. 

Then it was like a scene out of Field of Dreams....and out of nowhere a line of cars appeared. 😁

A great ending scene from a great movie.

Not as great an angle as the movie, but still impressive.

Waiting to be checked in for the 9pm show.

Thanks again to the dedicated team that makes Wildomar's park events so much fun.
