PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR THE 2021 HAUNTED LODGE!
Members of the Community, Students, Teachers, Parents, and Community Organizations,
Get a group together and WIN $100 just for participating in the 10th Annual “House of the Haunted Lodge,” a Halloween haunted competition which raises funds for students & the community by providing school’s, sports teams, Scouts and community organizations a chance to win cash prizes for accredited programs of their choice and receive community service hours for participating!
For the 10th year, in October 2021 the Jupiter Elks will host and award 13 groups, each, $100 just for being accepted in the competition. The event will be open to the public for two consecutive evenings, October 22nd and 23rd, from 7-10pm where each spectator who tours, can vote for their favorite “Fright Space.” Winning entries (based on the votes of those who braved the Haunted Lodge) will be awarded $500, $250 and $100 for first, second, and third places.
The “House of the Haunted Lodge”, offers a creative and competitive challenge for groups to design, construct and stage a “Fright Space," within the Elks lodge. By participating in the event, individuals can also earn community service hours. Any group, for example, ROTC, cheerleaders, drama department, or even a group of friends can apply for the competition. Every group must have a parent, teacher or administrative staff to assist and oversee the group, as well as a specified accredited program.
To participate here’s what you need to do:
• Come up with an idea that might be scary or funny, or both, something
with a Halloween spin.
• Get a group together that's willing to act out the scene’s characters.
• Gather props to decorate and stage your haunt. Get creative here,
search through your classroom, home closets, garage and attic.
It’s OK not to spend money!
