Posted/updated on: October 8, 2013 at 12:00 pm
TYLER — Tylerites who have visited the local Jaycees’ Halloween haunted house over the years will notice some changes this year. According to Jaycees member Michelle Perry, “Recently we have decided to re-vamp and re-energize the chapter as a whole and we hope to expand our contribution the community by improving the activities we are already involved with and coming up with new exciting events as well. One of our first projects to show the changes we are making is re-focusing our theme and target audience for our huge October event.
“This year instead of a haunted house, we are building a 28,000-square foot maze to be the main attraction. It is intended to be family friendly and even allow families to go through it together. There will also be a ‘fun house,’ which is a smaller maze with obstacles and attention grabbers for the children of our community. We plan to have bounce houses, a Putt-Putt hole in one challenge, bean bag toss, face painting by Ju-Jubilees and more!”
It all happens at 12338 Highway 155 South, across from Whataburger. According to Perry, “We will be open from October the 18th to the 31st. On weekdays (school nights) our hours will be 7:00pm till 10:00pm and on the weekend we plan to open at 4:00pm and stay till late.” Perry says several vendors will be on hand, and “there will even be a Jaycee store where T-shirts will be available for purchase so those that attend can show their support for the chapter and what we are doing.” For more information, you can contact at Perry at chelledawn8@hotmail.com or 903-216-7238, or Bobby Jones, Tyler Jaycee president, at 903-747-7360.
