Where would a person purchase a small quantity of dry ice for Halloween? Looking in the Lexington Park area.

Thanks! PF always feels closer to me, but I know it's really about the same.

I'm doing a trunk or treat thing at the little's school and wanted to put it in a cauldron to get that nice rolling fog effect.

Order something from Omaha Steaks. They usually come with dry ice. Plus, you get some nice steaks too. Or, you could order a fog machine from Amazon. You can get one for around $50 and use it year after year. All you have to buy then is the fog solution.

Be careful using dry ice around a group of kids. If anyone reaches into the cauldron and touches the dry ice they can get frostbite/burn of the skin with just a moments contact.

Oh yeah, I know! It's going to be inside a cauldron, placed towards the back of my trunk. Should be well out of reach and I'll be standing right there.

I can do without the Omaha Steaks price tags. I'm perfectly happy with the dead cow I get at Nick's.

I thought about getting a fog machine, but this is a one time thing and I don't want to store it. I'm lazy like that.

Just called Circus Icecream Inc. in Waldorf.

I put in an order for myself to make sure I get it, because it's that time of the year and they sell alot of it. I got 10lbs for about $16.00 include tax, and I didn't know but there is now way to store it long term. They told me to use it within a couple of days. So I'll be picking mine up of the 31st and using it :)

Give them a call if you can't find it and make sure to reserve it if you want to drive up there. They're located near the MVA. 301-843-8846, Open 8 to 4 M-F and 8-1 Saturdays.
