Test Night & Pumpkin Bread...

Alright, screw the weather!!!!

We are working our hineys off to get enough done today to be able to run a test night tonight, 10-30!

The sweetest lady, a neighbor from the next street over, 'Jane' stopped by with her son, Andrew, a little while ago to say 'Thank You' for all we have done for the community for this Halloween. There is nothing that could have warmed our hearts more to be able to push through this weather and make it happen no matter what. Oh... and she came bearing the most beautiful loaf of freshly made Pumpkin bread!!!! Thank You Jane & Andrew!!!!!!! You made our day, and our Halloween.

The 'Cancelled' sign has been pitched into the trash...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Snow and Inclement Weather

Well, we are getting dumped on with heavy snow. This has put a bit of a damper on preparations... PLEASE READ ON FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION...

However, we are diehard haunters. As such will go on as planned for this season. Please be aware that Test Night as originally scheduled - Thursday October 29th, will likely be spent making repairs and attempting to finish up preparations that we were unable to get to as a result of the weather. We will not be in costume on this night.

Now... if the weather does not clear, we will move Test Night to Friday October 30th. Visitors are still welcome on this night, all we ask is that you bear in mind that repairs will be under way and lighting/fog may be scarce.

Thanks and HAPPY HAUNTINGS!!! See you this weekend!!

Fighting the Snow...

We are busily preparing for the big nights. Unfortunately, we've had little help from Mother Nature this year...
