Festival of Frights back for second go at scaring Humboldt for Halloween fundraising
The Festival of Frights is coming back to Humboldt for their second year.
Set up once again at the Humboldt Vintage Club just five minutes south of the city, volunteers will be creating some scary scenes to scare the pants off even the most hardened Halloween fans with all the funds going to a good cause.
Big Brothers Big Sisters took on the challenge last year for something new in the community. Around 700 people came through their haunted house with $10,000 raised for BBBS programming. This year the newly created Humboldt Lions Club has taken the reins and will make a sizable donation to Big Brothers Big Sisters, as well as distribute some of the funds throughout the area following the event.
“Everybody’s looking forward to it this year,” said Joanne Grywacheski, Lions Club member-at-large. “When the opportunity arose, the Lions Club was excited to go ahead and lend a hand.”
