The Reid family is once again promising a hauntingly good time as they prepare for their fifth annual Halloween Haunt.
“My husband has been tinkering around with a couple of things out in the shed,” said co-organizer Nicole Reid. “We don’t want to spoil any surprises, but there will be a couple of new additions this year.”
From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Oct. 25 and 26, all are invited to experience the Reids’ Halloween Haunt, a walk-through event at 953 Boardwalk St. in Kincardine.
The cost of admission is a non-perishable food item or cash donation with 100 per cent of the contributions once again benefitting Kincardine’s food bank.

“We have collected over $5,000 for the food bank and four pickup truck loads of food over the last four years,” Reid said. “We don’t really ever have any expectations on how much we are going to bring in. It’s just so wonderful to see people’s joy and to also help out a great community organization like the food bank. It’s just a win-win.”
Reid is encouraging attendees to bring lots of cash to enjoy soup, donated by the Soup Spoon Company, and baked goods that will all be available by donation. The Bruce Shrine Club is also selling their Christmas products during the event.

“We have always really loved Halloween, and my husband and I both have such fond memories of it when we were kids,” Reid explained “It is important to us to bring something to the community with the nostalgia of a good time for the whole family. It’s extra special to be able to give back to the community we love.”
According to Reid, the event saw a couple hundred attendees in its first year, held during the pandemic in 2020, and grew to welcome more than 700 people over the course of two days in 2023.

“It is nice to see it grow, but still stay manageable for us to do with our small group of family and friends,” Reid said. “While the decorating and logistics are all run by my husband and myself, we do enlist our parents and some friends to help out on the night. We are very grateful we have had the success we have and we look forward to continuing to bring some Halloween joy to the community for as long as we are able to.”
