Hello, Fellow Readers!

Can you tell I'm in a good mood?  Well, if you can you're right on because I'm feeling really confident about this season's haunt as you can tell by the subject of this blog.  Why am I so confident?  Well, let me lay it on ya...

First, for those of you who may not know, we're opening October 13th.  That's FRIDAY the 13th.  It's the last Friday the 13th in October for the next seven years and we didn't want to miss the opportunity of capitalizing on such a special day.  So, we have planned for opening night the one and only Yell Like Hell Screaming Contest!    Trust me when I say that there isn't another contest like this around.  It's not your ordinary screaming contest.  Besides being special within itself, the prizes sets it off from all other contest, as well.  Now, get this...  The top prizes are autographed memorabilia from Mr. Kane Hodder himself, better known as Jason from Friday the 13th!  WOOT!!   He has graciously donated items to our contest in hopes of bringing in more contestants to further our cause of helping the kids.  HECK...i outta enter the contest myself!  LOL!

Okay that's one piece of news down.  Here's another...

We have been invited to participate in the Carmichael's Gala Parade Celebration on July 4th!  Plans are already in the works to change my Ford Escort Wagon into an "Econo Hearse."  It will be carrying one of our Toepincher coffins in the back and will be all decked out to look like a mini hearse.  There will be monsters walking on both sides of the vehicle throwing candy and passing out flyers and coupons.  There will also be a motor trike driven by one of our actors decked out as the Grim Reaper.  We are gonna have sooo...Much..FUN!

And finally, the last piece of news....

Our baseball team here, The Sacramento Rivercats, agreed to let us attend their August 30th game...in costume!  This is the next to the last game so you KNOW it's gonna be packed.  The head of Marketing said that they can set a table up for us, we can walk around and pass out flyers and coupons PLUS..he said we can even do a small little skit with Dinger, the Mascot on the field!  Can I hear a "WOOT?!"   Dinger is scheduled to be here at the haunt on October 20th and this is a great tie into his appearance. 

We are gonna have so many folks here this season.  I'm almost scared that we may have TOO many people.  This will definitely be our last season here at this location as we will have outgrown it by the season's end.

I will keep you informed of any other developments that transpire.  At the rate things are going...I'll be writing again really soon!

So how's your day going...?

PEACE
