Slaughter House Farms Trades Screams For Care Packages
LAUREL, Del. – One local haunted attraction is trading in your scares for care packages to our men and women overseas.
At Slaughter House Farms, you can expect an hour of bone-chilling scares. In it's inaugural year, they brought in over 1,000 victims to this haunted attraction. But, it's not just about frightening fun.
“We are actually shipping care packages out to the soldiers in fort operating bases. We're donating some money to the Leukemia Society this year. Also, the Laurel fire department, who comes out and stands by every year, this will be their second year, and they make sure that everyone is safe when we're running the attraction,” says Terry Scott, who owns and created Slaughter House Farms.
100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales, which are only $10, goes to these funds. Plus, all the staff are volunteers.
Think you're brave enough to make it through the hour long attraction? Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect.
“Scarecrows that will attack you, there's chainsaws, shot guns. Once you've made it through the cornfields you'll come right out into the attraction. You'll go through the barns, you'll see all kinds of crazy things happening to you,” says Scott.
“Everybody should know that when they walk through the ticket area, and they're buying that ticket, they're supporting our soldiers, they're supporting people with leukemia and they're supporting our local fire department,” he adds.
They're also setting up a fund to buy a pontoon boat for Wounded Warriors to use while fishing in the Chesapeake Bay. Slaughter House Farms opens this Friday, and run every Friday and Saturday through November 1st.
