After last year’s cancellation, the spirits awaken again as the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department brings back the ever-popular Halloween tradition: Fright Farm.
Cmdr. Brad Camitsch, the man who came up with the terrifying phenomenon, cancelled last year’s production because he was getting stressed, but then he found himself even more restless without it. But he wasn’t the only one driven nuts about it. Calls and emails came in from fans expressing their disappointment about it (including some North students.)
“They took a year off and had a rest and they missed it very much,” said Shani Mattson. “They knew a lot of other people missed it too.” For fifteen years, Fright Farm has drawn in about 15,000 people per year. And the scenery’s been different every year, giving a fresh barrage of scares to people who think they know what’s going to happen from what happened the year before. But shortly after going into Fright Farm, they quickly realize how wrong they really are and that they can never assume it’s going to be the same every year.
Some North students are planning on going to Fright Farm this year, including Lea Beaulieu (’13) and Shani Mattson (’13). When asked how Fright Farm’s been doing the past few tears, Shani replied “It gets better every year.” Fright Farm is on Fridays and Saturdays in October from 7-10 PM. It lasts from October 7th and Friday-Monday over Halloween weekend. Also on October 30th, there is a Low-Scare Matinee from noon to 4 PM. Regular admission is $10 and the Low-Scare Matinee admission is $5.
