\"Weston
\nAlthough they’ve faced a lot of controversy, the Jordan family are to be applauded and respected for taking on the difficult task of preserving and re-using the former Weston State Hospital<\/a>. This summer they’ve got a pretty full schedule of events at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum<\/a> (hereinafter the TALA), and of course the usual public tours. I recommend making a special trip for the tours alone even if you weren’t already planning on being near Weston this summer.<\/p>\n

The TALA is open for tours every Tuesday through Sunday. Tours on Mondays are by appointment only.\u00a0 You can purchase tickets for the special ghost tours and ghost hunts on the TALA website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On July 4th, the TALA will host a T.E.A. Party. (For those of you\u2014like me\u2014who don’t know what a T.E.A. Party is, T.E.A. stands for Taxed Enough Already. It’s basically a protest about taxation.) Tours will also be going on the entire day.<\/p>\n

The Lewis & Clark Circus (a “quality, family-oriented European style circus” according to their web site<\/a>) will be at the TALA on July 25th and 26th.<\/p>\n

Mud Mania<\/a> will be happening from September 11th through September 13th.<\/p>\n

Scare Asylum<\/a>, featuring various well-known ghost hunters and other paranormally-inclined personalities, will be taking place on September 18th and 19th.<\/p>\n

October will be a very busy time at the TALA (of course).\u00a0 The Haunted House will be ongoing for the entire month. The Fall Festival runs from the 22nd through the 25th. On the 30th, The Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures<\/em> (kind of a ridiculous show in my opinion, but it can be entertaining in a way. Plus it’s a nationally aired program and bound to get the TALA some attention) will do a seven hour live broadcast from the TALA. And on the 31st, Halloween night, there will be a “Witches Ball” (costume party) with psychics, tarot card readers, and several live bands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
