October 17, 2007 Events in California  | Information things to do

 

October 17, 2007 Events - If you had been in California on Wednesday October 17, 2007, you would have found the weather mild and pleasant throughout the state, with some clouds and rain on the northern coast in places such as Humboldt County.

 

California events in October have increasingly leaned to the unconventional theme park scare experiences that were first popularized by Knotts Berry Farm. There are try-outs for these events each year with actually auditions for screaming and other talents.  In 2007, Disneyland mildly tried to enter the fray for another year with advertisements throughout Southern California showing a pumpkin with a Mickey Mouse face on it. But, they did not promote anything in particular, which then made no statement as to why one would be compelled to choose that park over Knotts, or Universal Studios and its Halloween Horror Nights.
