of us is the old En- glish village of Evermore. It is a unique personal immer- sion theme park just east of I-15 in Pleasant Grove.

Evermore is a Medieval Gothic village with a popu- lation of 60 friendly resi- dents. The village has been created in amazing and au- thentic detail with antique fixtures and furniture.

The residents (actors and actresses are dressed in peri- od customs of equal detail). In addition to the 11-acre village, Evermore has a pro- duction facility a few blocks away with creative artists and engineers from the Hol- lywood effects industry to create unique costumes and creatures.

Evermore has the aura of a different time and place and is perfect for season- al legends, fantasies, and storytelli­ng. For Halloween, the village is decorated with more than 600 carved Jack- O-Lanterns, some arranged in an unusual manor. For example, they have an area of Jack-o-Lantern spiders.

Along one walkway is a large figure made of Jack- o-Lanterns. A spectacula­r sight when visiting Ever- more is always the statue of the Archangel Michael and during October the steps up to the statue are lined with Jack-o-Lanterns.

They have a Halloween storyline called “Lore” with people throughout the village playing their roles in two versions in different areas of the village. The Magical World of Lore is a family friendly Halloween festival experience. An- other area of the village is engulfed in “The Cursed World of Lore.”

This is a haunted village adventure with character in- teraction and visual effects. It even has its own original musical score. This program is for village guests 16 years of age and older.

At Evermore you will find a Halloween experience like no place else on the planet. The Lore Halloween runs every Friday and Saturday evening from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Lore will be the theme through the end of October. Because of the popularity of Lore, you should set a date that works well with your family, purchase tickets, and “register,” which is simply signing a release of liability form.

Adult tickets are $15 ordered online. You can order tickets on the Ever- more Park website. Email to info@evermre.com or call 385-323-5135.

The world of winter pro- gram is called Aurora and is inspired by Charles Dick- ens. Typical of an Evermore production, the grounds are a massive array of Christmas light displays, village charac- ters and animals are dressed to fit the storyline.
