On behalf of the children in Clarkton Dixie Youth Baseball, I would like to thank all of the individuals who helped with the Clarkton Dixie Youth Haunted House held from Tuesday, October 28, through Sunday, November 1.

The Haunted House was one of the Clarkton Dixie Youth's most successful fundraisers yet, and it would have never happened had it not been for the hard work and dedication that these individuals demonstrated during this long, exhausting week. Even though we were all worn out from the long hours of working our jobs all day and spooking folks most of the night, I think we all had a "BLAST!" Friendships were strengthened and new ones created.

Thanks to everyone for everything. As my son, Andy, and his friend Charles would say, "You da BEST!"

Thanks also to Mr. and Mrs. Tim Tart for the use of the great location. The house could not have been any more perfect.

A special thanks to Stan Davis and Randy Coates for all of the work that they did in preparing the house for the event. They were at the house everyday of over a month cleaning, fixing and decorating. Without you guys the fun part could never have happened.

Thanks to Regina and Drake for sacrificing your time with Stan so that he could share his creatively wicked mind to think up the ideas and bring them to life for the Clarkton DYB Haunted House. From the word around Clarkton and surrounding areas, it was a BIG success!
