The phenomenon involves modifying motorized vehicles typically used on golf courses with thematic ornamentation associated with a specific autumn holiday. Such customizations often include, but are not limited to, applying decorative lights, affixing artificial foliage, and incorporating representations of related characters or symbols. An illustrative example would be a standard electric cart adorned with simulated spiderwebs, inflatable ghosts, and orange and purple string lights.
The activity fosters community engagement and creative expression, particularly within residential areas and retirement communities. These ornamented vehicles contribute to a festive atmosphere during seasonal celebrations, promoting social interaction and neighborhood camaraderie. Historically, this practice has evolved from simple, understated embellishments to increasingly elaborate and imaginative displays, reflecting a growing trend of participatory holiday experiences.
