We’ll Scare The Yell Out Of You!!!

It’s that time of year again...We are already starting on ideas for the 3^rd Annual haunted house.

The theme this year is:

We are going through the inventory of what we have from the past haunts, and know there are repairs that will need to be made, such as embellishments and new sets. Janet and I have been working on some new set ideas.

There are of course things that we will need, so we are turning to our membership for help with these items:

Number 1 is first and foremost VOLUNTEERS!!! To help build props, to be characters in the actual haunted house, to set up and tear down...Since this is not an election year I hope each and everyone of you could volunteer some of your time for this event. We will need help with getting posters distributed, etc.

Our recepients this year are Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Janet Maxwell and I met with Janet Korpala the BBBS Director. They are very excited they have been selected and she guarantees they will have volunteers also. Some of the Chaps folks from last year want to help again this year.

The following are items we would like to have or need to have...If you already have any of the listed items and would be willing to donate it or if you could purchase it and donate it to the cause it would be greatly appreciated:

· 1. Sheets and pieces of plywood, or siding, 2x4's

· 2. Rolls of black plastic sheeting (we need at least four large rolls)

· 3. Nails and screws.

· 4. Old halloween props...masks, costumes, "any skeletons in your closet...we could use them"

· 5. Bats, spiders, rats....not the real thing please.

· 6. Old sheets or blankets in dark solid colors, or curtains.

· 7. We could use any old silk plants or trees you want to get rid of...or if you see them at a garage sale, grab them please.

· 8. Styrofoam boards for more headstones and whatever else we can use it for.

· 9. If you have black lights or black light bulbs we need these in several scenes. Also red and blue lights for special effects. We have one strobe light but we would like to have at least two.

· 10. We could really use some more fog machines & fog juice.

· 11. If you have heavy duty power cords we could borrow, please mark them with your name if you want them back.

· 12. Fans for movement of some sets.

· 13. Staple guns and staples.

· 14. Sound system

· 15. Or if you won't be around and want to help, please donate some money for this event to defray costs. Set up costs at the Pavillion is $25.00 a day and each of the two "events" days cost $100.00. Your contribution will allow more money will go to the organizations.

 As we come up with more items I will let you know. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Like I said manpower is going to be a huge item, we have to start building sets, and scenes right away, so please let us know when you are available.

If you have a garage or a shop we could use to build items and or to store props that would be awesome....

I look forward to hearing from you...Will let you know when and where the first work session will be.

Thanks so much,

***Linda Brenneman is going to help set up the Haunted House again this year, but she and Mark are purchasing Majestic Electric, therefore she won't be able to create new scenes.

Our Thanks to Linda for all the help this year and years past!
