Barrett's Haunted Mansion Supports Our Troops

Barrett's Haunted Mansion, a premiere haunting establishment celebrates its 18th year of fear and fun in Abington, MA by partnering with Special Kindness In Packages (SKIP) to show support for our military throughout the 2009 Haunting Season.

Every Sunday through Thursday (during Barrett's Haunted Mansion operating hours), guests of Barrett's Haunted Mansion are encouraged to bring an item from the qualifying list as a donation for care packages being packed and shipped by SKIP. Each participating guest will be able to enter the Haunted Mansion at a discounted admission fee of $10. Coupons are not valid with this offer.

On those same nights, admission to the Haunted Mansion is free for military members with a valid military ID.

Autumn Fest Right Around the Corner

On Saturday, September 26 you can find SKIP at Bridgewater State College for the annual Autumn Fest. In previous years, there have been artisans, music, and a lot of great things to see and do, so come on down and join the fun! It's free to attend.

As always, we'd love to see you at the SKIP booth and we're looking for volunteers. If you're interested in helping at the SKIP booth on Saturday please email Frank at frank@skipcares.org.

The Next SKIP Packing Party

It's been awhile, or so it seems, since the last time everyone gathered to pack care packages. We're warming up the engines to do it again soon, but before we can, we need your help.

SKIP needs supplies for the care packages in a really bad way. We've shifted our focus to Fun in a Box and you can find the new list of items on the SKIP website: SKIPcares.org.

You may bring any donations to Bridgewater State College on September 26, to Barrett's Haunted Mansion Sunday through Thursday starting September 27, call us to arrange a local pick-up, or mail your donation to us. No matter which method you choose, your donation means care packages for our deployed troops.
