Cobourg Couple Go All Out for Halloween Every Year

In Community, Editor Choice, Local

A Cobourg couple once again has gone all out to bring smiles, and a few scares to children.

Bob and Emmy Brown of Glen Watford Road in Cobourg’s west end have their entire front yard decorated for Halloween.

The couple have been decorating the yard for approximately seven years and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

It all started with a coffin, and each year they add more items.

It takes approximately two days to create the display that was completed on Friday, October 30, 2020.

The couple is so committed to bringing smiles to children and adults, that they even cancelled roof repairs until Halloween is over.

“It’s for the kids. And we love it.”

The display runs till approximately midnight on Halloween.
