Stone Ridge Haunt 2015

Several weekends in October, Stone Ridge hosted a haunted house in their Nettle Mill Clubhouse. They invited the community to join them for a dreadful night that will leave everyone scared out of their mind. Fly on over on your witches broom creep or crawl to the zombies tune. Mike volunteered with the haunt, both by doing makeup for the actors and joining in the fun in some of the scenes of the haunt.

Every year, Mike and his friends from Just Clowning Around of Northern Virginia participate in the City of Fairfax 4th of July Parade. This year, the morning got off to a wet start with lots of rain. That didn’t stop Mike from getting dressed as Sir Toony and heading out to the parade. Here are some of the photos from that parade.
