Mike's Cox Farms Fall Festival 2008 Photos
This summer, I applied for a part time job at
Cox Farms.
The advertised on their website
that they were looking for people to help with their fall festival and said they were
looking for aliens for the hayride. Since I like Halloween, I inquired about the position.
I knew that I would have limited availability and had a two week vacation planned for the
middle of the festival. They said that since I had an acting background that I should apply
and they would work around my schedule.
My first day, I started as an alien on the hayride, but they told me they were working on
something new, a Troll bridge. They had a few ideas, but ran into a problem because the
labor laws don't let the kids climb ladders at work. Since I wasn't a kid, I was one of the
few people who could take on the role of troll at the troll bridge.

One of the best stops on the hayride, the singing barn, or as I called it, when I interacted with the hayrides, "the dungeon!"
