Other Decorated Halloween Houses from previous years
Thanks to our awesome Facebook friends, here are some more recommendations!
- Delaware St, Oshkosh: On the south end towards 20th Ave that has their whole front yard done really neat every year.
- Parkwood Dr, Oshkosh: Near the country USA grounds. You walk around a path in their yard, moving figurines, a wooded area, a little cornfield area, smoke, and lights. Very neat! They have a spot for cash donations.
Let us know in the comments or by emailing govalleykids@gmail.com if you have a home or know one that should be added to our list!
