Organizers didn't know what to expect at a new location, but this year's annual Halloween event saw a lot of community support and frightful fun for families.
More than 600 visitors took in Hysterical Halloween at the 108 Heritage Site on Oct. 31, estimates organizer Ingrid Meyer.
The event featured a “Hillbilly Horror” exhibit and a Kids Zone organized by the 2015 grad class at Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School (PSO), as well as a giant bonfire by the 108 Lions, concession stands and games.
Next year, Meyer says she is hoping to bring back a popular fireworks display.
“I want to thank the whole community for coming out and supporting this wonderful event.”
The PSO group received great feedback and approximately 500 visitors strolled through its spooky exhibits, while raising money for 2015 graduation festivities.
“It was a great start to a new Halloween tradition, which will only get bigger and better in the years to follow,” says organizer Priscillia Remanente
“A big thank you goes to the 100 Mile & District Historical Society for hosting the event and to all our sponsors and donations towards putting this event on.”
