The Haunted Barn
Friday The 13th
One Night Only
The old Agway Barn located off Main Street Accord is on the “Guesses” List of scariest places in Town. Have you heard the stories handed down from those that survived to tell them? Only two are alive today to tell, but one howls at the moon, and the other thinks he’s a chicken.
Enter if you dare, the barn’s inhabitants are counting on it, their waiting with baited breath. Their green slimy drool of anticipation covers the walls and hallways waiting to attach to you. Only the reflective glimmer of ghoulish eyes lights your way in the pitch-black barn. Will you encounter Jason or Chuckie, or maybe “It” or find a gorilla in your midst? Will you be on the menu for this year’s monster buffet? Only time will tell. Remember, only four of you can enter at a time, those exiting could be less, much less. So will you dare? Sure you will, you crazy fools, you’ll not disappoint the Ghouls.
Whomever, dares to enter may do so at their own risk by reservation only!!! Bewitching hours: 7:00 PM -Midnight. Signup NOW! Call the Youth Department for your time slot: 626-2115. Admission is 12 and under $3.00 and $5.00 for ages 13 & up. Very scary, and is not recommended for children under 8.
