Power issues

Every Halloween I have the same problem. Power. I have no power outlets in the front yard. I've been running power from the garage with a 100ft power cord and then distributing is across the yard. I have to wind the cable up and around the front walkway so that visitors don't trip over it. A number of Halloween prop makers use pneumatics to run their props. That would be cool but it is just out of my price range for the moment.

I did pickup a yard stake power distribution unit last year so I'll have to try it out. Regardless, the front yard will be covered with electrical chords.
