Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen, voices whisper in the trees; screams are heard from every
corner; death becomes life for two long nights.... A 40 minute tractor drawn hayride weaves through the
Marquette County Fairgrounds. The ride is filled with terror and surprise. As you travel through the cold
darkness, be warned that the unexpected may be lurking at every turn and behind each and every tree.
There may be an eerie encounter to greet you!
