2008 was our sixth year as the Kitsap Haunted Fairgrounds. We had around 5,200 people attend this year. Our routine was open at 5pm to 6pm with lights on for families but at 6pm the lights went out and that's when the fun started. We closed each evening at 11pm. We were open October 16, 17, 24, 25, 31 and November 1.

Over the years people have come and gone. Unfortunately we're losing about eight really talented high school seniors to college next year so we'll need to do some recruiting. There's a core group of about ten of us who construct, paint and assemble and we have families who return year after year and stay involved. Some folks who participated years ago now have their kids helping and acting. Amidst all the work and frustrations, it's fun to look back and remember all we've done over the years. We've scared a bunch of folks out of their pants, literally. And we've put a lot of food in needy family's hands, too.
As you see we finished "take-down" in mid-November and we're thinking ahead for next year. Our first step will be to pick a theme and then devise the floor plan. The annual haunt convention will either be in Chicago or Las Vegas early next year and we'll send several folks there to attend classes and buy props, costumes, make-up, mini-bricks or anything else we can use and afford. We're on a budget so we usually only buy one expensive prop per year but we get years of use out of them.
