HAUNTED HOUSE
(8-11 yrs) – 6:30pm-8:00pm
The scary part of the night! However, in order to meet the new fire codes, we have started to rebuild the haunted house. We need painters and people who like to work with their hands. This initial work needs to be done in September and early October. We also need people to set up and break down, actors/actresses to scare the kids, and people to assist in directing the participants.
To work on the haunted house, contact
Doug Smith (617-558-3256) or Janice Bourque (617-332-0676).
