Jefferson Haunted House Celebrates Silver Anniversary

At the Oct. 2 Jefferson Town Council meeting, Mayor Russell Felter issued a proclamation congratulating the Jefferson Township Haunted House on its 25th year in front of a crowd of residents and costumed volunteers, AIM Jefferson reports.

Since 2003, the township offering has been presented at Camp Jefferson—prior to that it was at Briggs Elementary School—and it is the work of many volunteers. The article said it has town leaders' full support.

"This event is so well-done every year, and done safely, that I believe everyone should go see it," Felter said at the meeting.

This year’s rain or shine event takes place this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, a less-scary show for the kids will run from 4-5:30 p.m. A super-scary version will run Saturday from 7-9 p.m. and Sunday from 6-8 p.m. Tickets are $3 per person and visitors are asked o bring donations of nonperishable food items for the Jefferson Township Food Pantry.
