Get Spooked For A Good Cause
PRINCE GEORGE – Chris Bennett, his wife and a few friends have put in countless hours and money towards their one of a kind Haunted Maze.
They hosted the first of it’s kind back in 2016 in their backyard expecting a couple hundred people to show up. They were taken by surprise when over 2 thousand attended the two-night event. Now located in the 4-H barn at the CN Centre Fair Grounds, they’re hoping for 8-10 thousand attendees this year.
“The middle age, teenagers, it’s like okay your too old to trick or treat you’re too young to drink. You can’t do anything except cause problems and throw pumpkins in the middle of the street. So we decided let’s do this because we are all passionate about Halloween it’s my favourite holiday its a couple of their favourite holidays and scaring people is a lot of fun,” Chris Bennett, the head organizer explains.
Trying to keep the event at a low cost they use wooden pallets for the maze walls and have friends come out to help them build it. Jackie Bennett, another organizer of the event says the maze itself takes two days to set up and the decorating will take nearly two and a half weeks.
