Thank You

for making 
The Haunted Forest a success this year!

Your talent and enthusiasm brought our show to life. 
Now it’s time to let the show rest in peace (until next year)
And to celebrate our success!

Final Tear-Down
Saturday, November 3rd 9am-3pm (before the cast party!)
Thanks to your energy, spirit, and commitment, we completed 90% of tear-down last weekend!
But there’s still more to do! 
To make sure next year is smooth, we need to pack everything
we’ve deconstructed neatly in the woods, trailers, and lodge! 
Will you help us get organized? 

The Post Mortem Cast & Crew Party!!!
Saturday, November 3rd 3pm-8pm
Let us show our gratitude for your hard work 
with a Dinner and Marshmallow Roast!

Both events are held at The Catamount Outdoor Family Center in Williston, rain or shine.
Please Dress Appropriately.

Happy Halloween!

We Still Need Your Help!

Posted By on October 26, 2012

We are still looking for more guides for our shows this weekend! If you are able to come out tonight or tomorrow, we would love to have you! The time commitments are as follows:

Tonight (Friday): 5pm-midnight
Saturday Matinee: 9am-3pm
Saturday Evening: 4pm-midnight

Please call Lizzy 238-0923 before 4pm today or tomorrow if you’re interested in joining us (or just show up!)

Apart from our shows, we need ALL HANDS ON DECK FOR TEAR-DOWN!
Sunday, September 28th 10am-4pm
Come for as much or as little as you like

As you probably know, there is a storm headed our way and winds are supposed to be extremely high starting on Monday.
We cannot have volunteers in the woods once the winds pick up, and we want to make sure our set pieces and tents are stored safely before the storm arrives.
Can you help us?
Come for one hour, two hours, the whole day- whatever you can spare, and bring your friends!

Thank you for supporting the Haunted Forest!

Tonight’s Show Canceled (Oct. 19th)

Posted By on October 19, 2012

Due to the current inclement weather and the forecast for continued downpours throughout the night the Haunted Forest has made the difficult decision to cancel tonight’s performances. We are concerned about the enjoyment, comfort and safety of both our patrons and our volunteers on the trails tonight, and would rather you all have a safe and enjoyable and experience at the Forest.

Customers: we would like to offer you the option of attending any of our other shows. You can either contact our webmaster at webmaster@thehauntedforest.org to arrange to exchange your tickets or simply bring your email confirmation of tonight’s purchase with you to any show and it will be honored. Alternatively, if no other date or time is possible for you to attend a performance we will happily refund your purchase and hope that you will come back and visit us next year.

Volunteers: Thank you so much for committing to The Haunted Forest. We are sad that we won’t see you this evening, but we encourage you to sign up for any other performance night if you’re interested. We can still use volunteers on Thursday, October 25th, and we can alway stake more guides on any show evening. Please contact Lizzy (802) 238-0923 Lizzy@thehauntedforest.org if you’re interested.

If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact our managing director, Lizzy Fox at thehauntedforest@me.com or at 802-238-0923.

Thank you for your support of the Haunted Forest and we look forward to seeing you soon!
