Well, It's that time of year again. It's time to clear out the garage and
drag all the dusty old ghosts and goblins out from the crawlspace and clean them up, make repairs and get to building some
new spooks to give all the kiddies a scream.
Since the haunt is such a massive project we have decided to hold it every
second year. That will give us time to get things in order and make it better and better each time.
For 2008 our haunt will be bigger and better than ever! It's going to be
interactive for the kids with lots of treats and prizes for everyone, including parents. We're working hard to make it exciting
for all ages. Last year we realized that it was hard for some families to come on Halloween night because of trick-or-treating,
so this year we are going to run the haunt the weekend BEFORE Halloween. Friday and Saturday night. Both
nights the doors will open at 6:00 pm and run until 9:30 pm. The witches of "Spooky's Snack Hut" will be
back again this year selling hot dogs and hot drinks. Don't worry though, they cook better than they look. They'll be
opening up their kitchen at 5:30, so that you can get a "pre-fright bite."
In 2006 we raised almost a thousand dollars for the Cameryn's Cause
for Kids Society and our goal it to double it this year. It's a great organization that helps families right here in Campbell
River who have sick or injured children. It's the first of it's kind here in Campbell River and something that I'm proud to
be a part of. We'll be running the event the same as last year. Admission will be by donation to Cameryn's Cause.
Print out our online door prize ticket (will be available in October) and
drop it in one of the boxes at the exit. We have lots of great door prizes for kids and grown ups too.
Happy Haunting!
