The Davisburg Rotary wants to scare you.
Starting Oct. 14, the Davisburg Rotary is sponsoring a ‘House of Horrors? at the Oakland County 4H Fairgrounds in Davisburg as part of a fund-raiser.
‘We were looking for something fun to do to raise money,? said Gerry Jackson, ‘House? co-chairman.
Investing close to $7,000, Rotarians started developing the idea last February. Ideas came together from members who had either been to different haunted houses or had actually worked at some in the past.
‘It’s slowly evolved,? Jackson said.
This year’s house will feature 10 different rooms, a maze and a ‘surprise? at the end to scare participants.
‘It’s a good-size haunted house,? Jackson said.
Jackson, along with co-chair Mike Wise and the rest of the Rotarians, is keeping the details top secret until the house opens. The event and waiting area are located completely indoors, so weather issues will not be a concern.
‘There’ll be ghouls, goblins, bloody scenes and things like that,? Jackson said.
The event is not recommended for children under the age of 12.
Members of the community have stepped forward to help with the house, a project theRotarians hope will become an annual event and perhaps even a festival in the future.
‘The amazing thing is we’ve had about 50 people helping out along with the community pitching in,? Jackson said. ‘That’s been one of the coolest parts about it.?
Finishing touches are underway for the ‘House of Horrors? and Jackson couldn’t be more excited.
‘There’s 10 different scary things, so it should be a good time,? Jackson said.
The Davisburg Rotary ‘House of Horrors? runs Oct. 14-16, 21-23 and 28-31. Thursday and Sunday event times are 7-10 p.m. Times for Friday and Saturday are 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. Tickets are $10 per person. For more information, please visit www.davisburgrotary.org.
