Haunted House Help! 
Haunted Project Idea/Suggestion Committee (Terror at the Fair)
 
As of now it looks like its a very strong possibility we are not able to do this event at the current fair location due to fire/safety reasons. We would like to form a group/committee to help brainstorm on new ideas for this project, look into possible new locations, and to see if we will have enough members/help to make this project work for the 2010 year. If you are interested in joining this committee please contact Nathan at natlange75@yahoo.com  by Monday July 28, 2010.
