Ways You Can Volunteer and Help Haunted Palouse be 12th Successful Event

Haunted Palouse! Yes, for its 12th year, will be held Oct. 18, 19, 25, & 26.  In its 11 years, so far it has raised more than $312,000 for various projects in our wonderful community.  Amazing isn't it?

This year the recipients of proceeds will be:

• Downtown reader board
• Community Center mortgage
• Garfield-Palouse Athletic Club
• Viking Crew
• Lions Club
• Skateboard Park
• Museum
• Chamber of Commerce

This is a tremendous volunteer effort, and if you would be willing to help or support, thank you! Each night requires about 75 people to man the two haunted houses and Shady Lane...in addition to support from city staff and our police department.  Building begins this weekend and continues every weekend through October.
