decorated Jack-O-Lantern and
leave it until Sunday or Mon-

There will be a variety of food
items available for purchase.
The Haunted House is divided
into two parts, one that is less
scary and more ideal for young
children and one that is scarier
and suitable for the “less easily
scared” crowd.
The haunted house has 10
themed rooms and several hall-
ways packed with monsters,
creepy things, animatronics and
special effects. Cost is $3 per
person for admission and $1
off with the donation of a non-
perishable food item. Sunday is
family night, and children ages
12 and under get in free with a
paid adult. The Grange has also
hidden roughly 100 “Rock-O-
Lanterns” all over town that act
as a free ticket to the Haunted
House on any night.

plays: “Jesus Christ Super Star
