Last year was such a success due to the many volunteers that came out and helped. With this years even bigger designed haunted trail we will again need volunteers in the following three areas.
Remember this is for a great cause, 100% of the food is given to the local food banks.
1. The problem is with so many new props, we anticipate an electrical issue. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! If someone is an electrician by trade or well knowledgeable PLEASE CONTACT ME. This is a critical issue for us.
2. We are also looking for any volunteers who would like to help with setup Saturday October 29th anytime between 8:00am - 12 noon.
3. Dress up, come and help us scare the kids and ADULTS, believe it or not they are the most fun!!
--------
Halloween Spectacular 128 North Main Street is going to be bigger this year than ever. October 31st from 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Free admission to our haunted trail but suggested donation of non-perishable canned food will be great appreciated. PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY if you are able, please bring canned goods that will be distributed to local food banks.
Our Halloween show is now up and running. We have 14 "scary" songs choreographed to almost 1000 lights!
There is a tremendous amount of work for this display, would you please help us make a difference by giving generously for those who are able.
If you have the Halloween Spirit or would like take part in a fun event while at the same time helping our communities please contact me to see how you may be able to help.
Thank you so much,
Keith A. Shaw

Thank you for doing this year after year. The kids (and adults too) really enjoy it. Your house is always the highlight of trick or treating on Main St. |

Do you need some extra lights for your show this winter? I have approx 60' of Bright White LED Icicle lights with a green wire. We switched to colored lights so they don't match anymore. If you do I can drop them off at the donation spot. |

We would love to have the lights, they will go to great use! Any LED lights can be used within our display! You can drop them off on our back porch or let me know where to pick them up. Thank you! Keith |

Thank you for all the kind words! We have had some people ask if we take cash donations for the charity. Yes, if you prefer to give a cash donation that is fine we have a donation box set up at the entrance. Remember as always we only ask those who are able to donate and 100% of all donations food or cash goes to charity. Thank you again and we are looking forward to tonight!! |

I would like to take a break from the bickering on this site to say thanks again to Keith and his family for putting on this display last night. This is the kind of thing that makes Cranbury great. It was the perfect way to end the night of trick or treating and my son said it was the best part of the night. I hope this becomes a tradition because I can't wait for next year. I hope everyone got a chance to stop by and make some donations. |

That was a very refreshing post for this Bulletin board. Our family had a great time last night walking around town and then going to the Shaws, it was wonderful! We were amazed how Keith put this together, we heard he was not able to set up until Sunday? How did the donations collections go? |

I have been thinking about this answer for the last three days.
First I would like to again thank all the people who came out to help set up. It is a wonder how we pulled this off in one day, I couldn't have done it without you guys so thank you again! Second, thank you for those who did bring food it is greatly appreciated especially (you know who you are) that brought several cases, and my friends who I know brought a lot you made a difference!
Now to answer the question about donations. I am great-full for anything that we received because even a little will make a difference. Am I happy, NO, I am very disappointed in the donations this year. We ONLY collected one large storage bin full of food and $49.00 for the food banks (this included the 6 cases that were donated by one person so that took up a third of the bin!). When I put in months of work preparing and the $ that we personally spent we would hope that an event of this caliber and the 100's of people who attended we should be able to collect 10x the effort. Not even near it in fact just the $ I spent to make this even happen (not even counting my time) I could have bought much more and given the food banks more than what was collected.
We "hope" that for those who came through and did not get a chance to donate will bring what they can.
Again we are thankful for those who did. |
