Nightmare on Pearl
Street Brings Taste of Halloween to June
An
assortment of zombies and monsters overtake the
Society's "Squirrel Cage" jail museum Saturday evening, June
15, in a fun fundraiser to generate money to repair the
building's leaky roof.
The event is scheduled from 7:30 until 10 p.m.
Admission is five dollars; Society members are admitted free.
Join us as the dead are
raised to raise funds for the jail roof. It'll be a scream to
remember!
