Come and Be SCARED - if you DARE!

Come join us for SCARY fun on Halloween night, when the Wenk Funeral Home on Payn Avenue comes alive with the undead.


Admission is $5.00 and the proceeds will benefit the Chatham High School Drama Club, the Junior Class and the Northern Columbia Rotary Club.

The Haunted House will be open Friday, October 30 and Halloween night, October 31, from 7pm-10pm (or until the line is gone). We are hoping for good weather for the trick or treaters, but a good thunderstorm will be a mere murmur amidst all the fearful screams inside the Haunted House! Parking will be available on the street.

WARNING: This Haunted House is not for the weak (or young) at heart. The event is not recommended for those under 12, who have other community activities to participate in, like the Chatham Fire House's annual Halloween party and the Chatham Business Alliance's Halloween Spooktacular, November 1, put on by Main Street merchants.

Come, join in the fun and help Chatham's students and our community! Pssst....tell your friends. There's safety in numbers!!!

The Northern Columbia Rotary Club gives back to the community in many ways, from donations to numerous non-profit organizations, to scholarships for local youth.

But he was not expecting ghosts.
