- Big Stone Gap neighbors and Halloween visitors
- Worth noticing
- Its hand-counter yearbook lists 1,397 trick-or-treaters for 2026, up from 614 in 2022.
Field notes
The family traces the display to a childhood memory of a Christmas home in Dryden, where the owner dressed as Santa and handed candy canes to visitors. The site says its trick-or-treater totals come from a hand counter and lists figures from 2022 through 2026. It also describes the giant skeleton as a shared purchase brought home from Asheville; the navigation names additional sections, including Bone Academy and a Memory Book, whose contents are not visible in the extracted homepage.
