It was another banner year for the Haunted Mansion at Quietwoods South Camping Resort near Brussels. The annual fundraiser for the Southern Door School District provided a donation of just under $44,125, which will be invested in 25 areas at the school. A total of 570 volunteers participated in the event in 2017, providing 8,168 hours of work at the site. That works out to an hourly donation of $5.17 of in-kind value. Over the past 12 years, the Haunted Mansion has raised about $270,000 for Southern Door School programming. It was also learned that, for the 8th consecutive year, the fundraiser has been designated the top haunted attraction for the northeast region. Information on another record-breaking year was presented at Monday’s Southern Door School Board meeting.
