www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, September 30, 2016 | 20 Haunted Backyard seeks volunteers to help scare and more continued from p.19 Wilson said although it can be a laborious process of setting up and tearing down, he looks forward to hosting the Haunted Backyard because Halloween has always been a special time of year for him. "My mom would always be the one handing out candy so my dad would always be the one taking us around the block," Wilson recollected of his childhood. "For me to work up the courage to go to someone's haunted front door or anything like that where they put up a good scary theme when I was really young was a proud moment for my dad and ultimately a proud moment for me because I made my dad proud of me." He continued, scaring people is simply a lot of fun. Wilson is welcoming people of all ages to enjoy a night out to support a great cause. "We're very friendly for the first hour or two, but as it gets darker we become less friendly and adults must decide for themselves whether it's appropriate for their child," he cautioned. "We do always recommend a parent comes through with anyone that is of younger age. However, with that said, we do have superheroes here to be able to walk any scaredy-cats through." Visitors can also yell `chicken' and the volunteers will unmask. The Haunted Backyard is free, however donations are accepted. There will also be a screaming booth where you can have your photo taken and there will raffle prizes and a costume contest. Those interested in volunteering can contact Wilson by emailing mikewilson1@bell.net. To make a donation, visit convio.cancer.ca/ goto/TheHauntedBackyard.
