The Kemmerer 4-H Club has been putting on a night of Halloween haunting for the community for about 20 years. They started with the haunted barn, then a haunted hayride, and this year, they held a haunted walk. The event was held on Monday, Oct. 12. The money they earn goes toward purchasing 4-H participants’ supplies for the classes they take. Throughout the walk community members were “haunted” by 4-H members, their parents and a few that just wanted to join in on the scaring.
