Haunted Hike Makes it’s Haunted Home in Vegreville Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser Well known by tens of thousands of visitors at their outdoor haunted adventure, Haunted Hike has set up shop at Vegreville’s Young Farts RV Parts for the spooky fall season. One of the organizers, Teresa Glowatsky, shared a little insight into the history of the popular fall attraction. “We used to live on an acreage by Sherwood Park, and were looking for other ways to use some of the land that we had,” Glowatsky said, “So we started the event as a fundraiser for the Stoller Children’s Hospital.”
“It became so big that it was a business we didn’t pay ourselves for, so we decided to give it some breathing room.” After selling their long-time family home and acreage, they moved to Vegreville with sons Dawson and Jagger Glowatsky, who started the Young Farts RV Parts shop in town. It was there that, faced once again with space and several props from amassed scenes of times past, they decided to bring back the Haunted Hike from a new location in Vegreville. With a labyrinth of dimly-lit scenes, jump scares, and live actors, the group plans to entertain (and scare) guests
from Vegreville and the surrounding area for a total of 20 nights from October 3rd on every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with times set at varying levels of spookiness. While no longer a fundraiser for the Stollery, funds from this year’s Hike will be used to help cover expenses. Teresa says that for future fundraising purposes, they are looking for a suitable local charity to donate to. “The Stollery will always hold a special place in our hearts,” said Teresa, “Right now, we’re looking forward to giving back on a local level.”
