In this episode of HaunTopic Radio, we bring ‘some’ of the West Coast Haunt Events to you! In Portland, Oregon from the West Coast Haunter’s Convention with Ed Roberts and Reno, Nevada from Haunt X with Garrett Call. Two great shows all in one podcast!
Haunt X is a haunter’s retreat for Halloween lovers, pro haunters, and home haunters. It is located in Reno, Nevada at the Circus Circus on May 9-11.
We interview Garrett Call, the new owner of Haunt X, and get the scoop on how the gathering has changed under his guidance and what you can expect from the trade show and all of the events taking place. With low-cost room rates and price friendly packages, this show would make a great Haunter’s vacation!
The West Coast Haunters Convention is located in Portland, Oregon at the DoubleTree Hotel on May 15-18, 2014. This is a haunters convention for all; whether you are a pro haunter, home haunter, or Halloween enthusiast. The WCHC is a 501(c)3 organization that uses it’s profits to give grants to professionals who work with children with hearing impairments and/or autism.
We interview Ed Roberts, founder of the West Coast Haunters Convention and The Nightmare Factory Haunted House, about what’s new for the trade show, education, and entertainment this year.
