October has come to an end and so too have all the local spooky celebrations. 

Janice Peterson, Executive Director of the Clinton Chamber of Commerce, explains while the Haunted House season was a little slower than last year, the online ticketing they introduced this year was a huge success. 

Peterson notes one of the challenges they encountered was volunteers. She explains they had to close the house down for a night because they had some volunteers fell through at the last minute. 

The Chamber will be looking for volunteers starting much earlier next year. Peterson compliments the groups that return every year because they are always a big help in creating a good experience.

Peterson reminds any groups who volunteer with the Chamber's Haunted House will receive seven percent of the nightly sales. She hopes this will entice more groups to volunteer next year.
