Night Fright Haunted House is a dramatic style haunted house that is very scary, but not gory. Each year the haunt is completely re-themed with a new storyline. For 2009, we have an all new show "The Museum" on the third floor of the hotel and a brand new experience, "The Crypt," will be in the basement. The Crypt is a smaller haunt than the Museum, but will be darker, scarier and more intense. Be sure to bring a friend to hand onto for this one!

Union Harvest Festival
October 24th, 2009

All activies are free
There is plenty of fun for the whole family at the annual Union Harvest Festival! Numerous volunteers and businesses throughout Union County come together to put on a multitude of events, including a haunted house, Harvest Festival parade, punkin-chunkin, scarecrow building contest, pumpkin painting, games, vendors, and more.
Events will begin with the Costume Contest and Parade. There will be prizes awarded for several categories at the City Park following the Parade. Line up for the Parade will be on East Fulton next to the High School. The Parade begins at 12:00 noon. All entries are welcome and harvest themes are encouraged. Entry forms will be available at www.unioncc.org.
Following the parade head over the the Livestock Show Grounds in Union for the annual Pumkin Chunkin. What's a Pumkin-Chunkin? It's all about finding out how far a pumpkin can fly. Using trebuchets, (a medeival seige weapon similar to a catapult, but with a sling) participants aim to find out just how far they can sling their pumpkins. An old car is placed in the middle of the field. Prizes will be awarded for the trebuchet that can hit it the most times. There will also be pumpkin painting, games for kids, monster movies, vendors, and food for sale all at the Livestock Show grounds. Horse drawn hay wagon rides will begin after the parade at the EOLS main gate. Scarecrows will be on display for the scarecrow building contest sponsored by the Union County Chamber of Commerce.
As part of the Union Harvest Festival, the Night Fright Haunted House in the Historic Union Hotel will have a special "less scary" matinee from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. This is a toned down version for younger children or the faint of heart. The scares and screams will ramp up again that night from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.
