It is summertime and that means that it is time to prepare for the Haunted Hayride. This year our theme was the Lord of the Rings. We began by building a 20 foot tower to hold a 4 foot flaming eye. Preparations at the hayride area began with the construction of a 40 foot long wooden wall. Unfortunately, shortly after erecting the wall and part of the tower the hayride route was devastated with a major flood. All of our efforts were lost only two weeks before the event. The destruction forced us to cancel our skit.
