VIRS Respite Care

It is with a heavy heart to announce this will be the last year we will be allowed to run our haunted house at the Park. It has been an incredible journey and it has been a pleasure to watch all the joy it has brought to so many people. Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting us the last 4 years!

That being said, this weekend will be crazy to get everyone in. So, here are some tips.

1. Pay but you dont have to stay! Get there early and put your name on the list.
2. If there is a long wait feel free to go out and enjoy the other haunted houses in town, go to dinner, enjoy a movie, or my personal favorite, enjoy a nice cocktail and some live music in a fine establishment like the Park. 😆
3. We will text you when it is your turn to go down.
4. Don't stress and feel like you have to hurry back, you will not lose your spot in line, just come back any time after you get the text, once you show up we will get you in ASAP.

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Halloween weekend. And thank you all again.

Cheers!

👻 SPOOKY shoutout! 👻
We want to give a huge thank you to the Park Lounge and all the amazing actors who donated their time to the Haunted House fundraiser! Their hard work resulted in a fantastic donation of $1,200!
We're so lucky to have such a wonderful business in our community that gives back.
Get ready to scream! 😱 You have just two nights left to get in on the action until it is gone for good!!
