Nearly 400 haunters were able to
join us at our “First Annual Scare
Factor Monster Bash” this past
th
Friday the 13 !
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:
