My name is Randy Ruhl, and I am very pleased and grateful to be taking over as the new chairman of the haunted house committee. After talking it over with a few other members we have decided to form a haunted house committee that will be open to all who are interested in helping to continually improve the haunted house through ideas, decorating and working the house itself. Our first meeting will take place on Saturday February 19 at the Elgin Turner hall at 1:00 pm. Any member is not only welcome but encouraged to attend. Please come if you have any ideas to share.
