is full of gravestones and Halloween props, and all the neighborhood kids love when they see the decorations come out.
"We create quite the buzz when kids get off the bus and see we've started decorating," Lisa said. "I hope our neighbors like it!"
The two, along with some friends and co-workers, work hard on the haunted house all year long. They change it every year and continue to think up new and different things.
While it is a scary haunted house, it's open to all ages. Tour guides can alter some of the walk but parents need to use discretion.
The haunted house is open Halloween night from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and is open to the public. Admission is free, but the Foxes do ask guests to bring a non-perishable item for the Hanover Food Shelf, if they can.
Treats, not tricks, at the “Outlet Mall”
Trick or treating is back at the Albertville Premium Outlets, and most stores will be participating Halloween night if you want to keep everyone in one somewhat sheltered, well-lighted area for the evening. If rain’s in the forecast, that awning comes in handy
