HAUNTED TUNNEL APPLICATION ONLY Daggett Farm was created not only as an added attraction to Slater Memorial Park but has also served as an educational tool for the community. Many of the costs needed to maintain or provide improvements to this Farm and its animals are met by the revenue raised through the dedication and volunteering efforts from the Haunted Tunnel. Volunteers are needed for the annual Daggett Farm Haunted Tunnel event in Slater Park. The group starts in September constructing and creating the attraction. The Tunnel is then open to the public every Friday and Saturday throughout October. The doors are open to the public at 6:30pm and will close approximately at 8:30pm to allow for the patrons to have access prior to 9:00pm and to begin clean-up. By agreeing to participate, it is expected that you will assist your fellow team-mates throughout the construction and dismantling process. Times and dates will be announced.
