Bringing the Arts to Life

 

Hampshire House of Horrors

 

A Word of Thanks from the Romney Project Team

The first annual event to benefit the Romney Project for Murals went off without a hitch!     J A Cook and John D’Amico were instrumental in leading the effort to design the floor plan and to build the sets that filled the garage at The Bottling Works in Romney. There was a total of 20 sets that featured a Grave Yard, a Nursery, a Pirate Ship, Creepy Spiders, The Mad Doctor, Insane Patients, and The Butcher with a Half Body. The sets were mainly constructed with common materials like pallets, landscape cloth, ribbons, a couple of black lights, strobe lights, and a few other knick-knacks here and there. Countless quantities of paint, staples, screws and extension cords were also used to construct the maze that lead visitors from one spooky scene to another.

The construction started in the beginning of September and continued over a period of 6 weeks. There were many volunteers that gave a helping hand to build the sets and over 30 Guides, Actors, Boos, and Organizers that participated each night (rain or shine) during this four-day event.

A BIG THANKS to The Bottling Works for letting us use their space and a special thanks to the business contributors at Eastern Building Supplies, Shaffer Funeral Home, and Hometown Solutions of Augusta. Many thanks to the volunteers for their hours spent in the design, construction, participation, and decommission phases of this event. But most of all… we thank the great town of Romney and all the brave souls that enjoyed the Hampshire House of Horrors this year. Your contributions and donations are truly appreciated.

Backpack food programs provide nutritious, non-perishable, easy-to-prepare food to children with a mission to ensure they get enough food on weekends and holidays.  The program’s goal is to avoid hunger when children can’t depend on school meals.
