Haunted Hollows 2008
Donates $12,000.00.

The Mansfield Haunted Hollows crew, Ben Yeransian, Tate Shepard, Tyler Schmidt, and Lauren Pillsbury, provided the New Shelter Building Fund with its single largest non-corporate donation. The Halloween fundraiser was held on five October nights, in the woods off Maple Street, and provided a scary walk though haunted scenes with costumed actors and sound effects.

The event was a sequel, on a much larger scale, to last year's Haunted Hollows when the group donated $600.00 to the building fund. Plans are already in the works for an '09 Haunted Hollows, so stay tuned.
