ALIDA - The Alida Haunted House and Fun Fair was another huge success this year. The attendance for the five days in late October for the haunted house maze was approximately 526 visitors plus a full house for the fun fair. The youngsters really did enjoy this event. This year the event brought in a grand total of $10,120.
Much appreciation goes to all who attended and participated in this event, as well as to all the spooks, volunteer workers and for all the donations of items, cash and goodies for the fun fair. Great work everyone and special recognition to organizer Shelly Cowan and her right-hand man Dale Anthony for the many hours they spend in assembling the haunted house weeks before the event. Hopefully we’ll see you again next year.
