The Summerland Peskelly skeleton family are back again, this time sitting down to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner where the meal won’t go straight to the hips no matter how much they eat.
“Looks like Slim got the turkey and Twizzler the rat is already digging in,” said Heather Pescada, the the genius behind the skeleton display in her Summerland Trout Creek front yard.
People from all around Summerland and Penticton look forward to seeing what the Peskelly skeletons are up to each day of October. Pescada sets the skeleton family in different scenes and shenanigans each day of October leading up to Halloween.
So far this October, the skeletons took part in a hot air balloon ride, rode the Kettle Valley Steam train, anniversary kayak for Slim and Bonita and had a birthday party for their oldest son Kelly.
To check out the daily antics of the Peskelly you can drive by the home on Dixon Street in Trout Creek or you can check to the Peskelly family Facebook page.
Peskelly, the Queen of Halloween, said she won’t be doing as many crazy things this month as in past years because she is busy organizing the sold out Sorcery Express magical train to help Summerland Secondary dry grad. Train guests hop on the haunted Harry Potter-themed steam train for a spooky ride only to return to the station which has been transformed into the Summerland School of Sorcery, the putrid pumpkin patch and the wicked woods.
While both the family friendly and adult trains were sold out early, there is still a way you can tour the spooky stations classrooms and wicked woods. You can walk through the station. To get tickets go to the Kettle Valley webpage.
