Tofield School grad fundraiser ushers in Halloween spirit

The Tofield School’s Grade 12 class has been working hard to raise money for their fast-approaching graduation. The class had decided to raise funds by hosting a ‘Haunted Hike.’

The hike was held on Friday, Oct. 18, and Saturday, Oct. 19.

“Hopefully we raise around $10,000 from the Haunted Hike,” said host Jeremy Koloski, also a Grade 12 student. “It is $5 a person for them to go through the hike, a part of which will go towards reimbursement for the money that had been spent on setting it up. Everything else goes to the grad.”

He remarked that the Haunted Hike setup began in mid-April. Since then the once normal path has evolved into a hike of terrors.

“Sometimes the setup of the hike could be fun however at other times it was a tiresome task,” commented Koloski. “I think all of our work will pay off in the end.”

Koloski explained that there are several themes during the hike. Some of the sections he listed were – a dead circus, graveyards, military section, abandon churches and more.

“The area I have chosen is pretty quiet and could seem like a reprieve from the constant scares.” . . . contd.
