Nearly 400 haunters were able to join us at our “First Annual Scare Factor Monster Bash” this past

Friday the 13th!

We want to thank all of you who were able to join us at the party! We

intend on hosting this event next year as well! The turn-out was great

and we ended up with many different door prizes to give away! Team

Zombillies handed out some of their awards while multiple bands

rocked the stage. A costume contest was also in order as well as a

game of corn hole. Many smiling faces were seen at the party and it

was like one huge family get-together! Special thanks to all of those

who helped orchestrate this event and to those who donated prizes!

All haunters are invited to attend next year’s Monster Bash, so we

hope to see you there!

Here are some pictures from the Bash:
