Water Valley Fire Department Haunted House.

Posted on by

Haunted House Every year the Water Valley Fire Dept. orchestrates a haunted hay ride/haunted house in October. I attended the opening night and they will be operating this Saturday night, October 23, 2010.
Some the activities include:

  • Indoor play area for the young children.
  • Outdoor train ride for the young children.
  • Games with prizes.
  • Plenty of food from the concession stand (Hamburgers, Frito Pies, etc).
  • Haunted Hay Ride and Haunted House.
  • Some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

The Hay Ride/Haunted House

After you buy your arm band ($5.00) you will board a long trailer lined with square hay bails pulled by a large tractor. You ride your way through the dim lighting in the woods and go through a gastly scene of ghouls and hatchet men. Some ghouls will come out of the dark and crawl along the hay bails and scare riders who are looking in the other direction. You end your journey at an old farm house. You venture through a maze filled with evil and creatures wielding chainsaws. Then you enter the haunted house. I will not go into any more detail you will have to see for yourself!

Note: All proceeds go to benefit the Volenteer Water Valley Fire Dept.

Gatlinburg, Tennessee Trip 2010

Posted on by

This year we went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for our vacation. My Family and I stayed in a cabin overlooking the Smoky Mountains. It was very nice and the hot-tub was a great way to end the busy days. The first thing we did was visit the Ripley’s Aquarium. The Aquarium is full of sea life ranging from Sea Horses to Tiger Sharks. The best part is walking under the tanks in the under water sea tunnel. We spent a lot of time in The Smoky Mountain State Park. We hiked to waterfalls, visited Cades Cove and climbed the highest peak in the Smokies, Clingman’s Dome. My family and I rode the Gatlinburg Tramway up to Ober Gatlinburg. Ober Gatlinburg is a small theme park with a skating ring, water-slides, kid rides, and ski lifts. We ended the week with a train ride to a mountain lake in North Carolina. The train leaves Bryson City, North Carolina and travels to Nantahala, North Carolina. Nantahala is a great place to go white water rafting or kayaking. Like most vacations this one ended too early, but it is good to be back home.

Below are some pictures taken on our trip.
