As always donations are appreciated, but never required. Also, this display is not a walk through, so please do not go past the stonewall. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting times that the music, lights and fog machines will be running and other information. Thanks to all of you, we were able to collect a lot of food last year that really helped many people in our community and hopefully we will be able to do it again this year. We are so excited for another spooky season with all of you!!!
