Portlanders love to celebrate anything and everything Halloween and this weekend marks the start of the madness. I thought about reviewing all of the haunted houses and corn mazes in the Portland Metro area, but realized that while everyone loves Halloween, not everyone likes to be scared. Instead I am going to help you get your costume together and recommend 2 events where you can unveil your costume creations.

The fun and funky sewing school and workshop, PDX Seamsters, is offering a "Halloween Intensive" Costuming Fundamentals Workshop this weekend. Here is your chance to make your dream Halloween ensemble while learning costuming fundamentals. The course will kick off with a group trip to the fabric store Thursday night with instruction from 6pm-9pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. In addition to instruction and guidance, you'll also get a full month of unlimited sewing studio access where a professional is always there to help answer your questions. Not down for the whole workshop? They are now offering a $99 one day pass which includes open studio access up until Halloween so you can complete your costume!
Looking for a chance to cover yourself in fake blood and teeter-totter around town moaning "brains?" Look no further! It's Portland's 6th Annual Zombie Walk this Saturday starting at Pioneer Square at 3pm. Not only is this a chance to pose with fellow zombies and wander the streets, you can also participate in the 4th Annual Thrill the World Dance performance. Portland zombies, along with groups of zombies around the world, will perform Michael Jackson's Thriller dance simultaneously. Make sure you're there by 4pm to be a part of the record breaking worldwide phenomena! Upon the completion of the dance the walk will begin.

So you're not a fan of dressing up yourself, but love to dress up others? Well the 4th Annual Doggie Palooza Halloween Fashion show might be perfect for you. Put all of that sewing skill to work to turn your furry friend into a dinosaur, pirate or banana with legs! This is the one time a year that the World Forestry Center opens its doors to canine friends. Come and check out new treats and food, get training tips and watch a fashion show with the latest doggie clothing trends. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for kids and free for well behaved pooches. And if your pup is a handsome star, he/she may even be chosen as the next cover-dog for Spot Magazine.
Have a safe one friends!
