NEWS RELEASE
ROYAL VICTORIA REGIONAL HEALTH CENTRE
********************
Visiting Dunnett's Dark Lair has become a Halloween tradition for hundreds of Barrie residents over the last 11 years.
Organizer Chris Arnott is once again planning to delight trick or treaters with frightfully good decor at his home at 59 Dunnett's Dr.
In addition to becoming a highly anticipated local Halloween destination, Arnott has also raised funds through the event each year for the cancer centre at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH).
It is free to take in the chills, but guests are invited to donate to support patient care.
The yard display is crafted from materials and decorations collected over many years, and Arnott spends months planning ways to make the design a unique and fun experience for his guests.
His work has not only thrilled trick or treaters locally, but it has also been recognized abroad in the 2017 Home Haunters DVD Awards, and the Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show for "Best Home Haunt" in 2017 and 2012".
Arnott also won the Best Canadian Garage Haunt Award from the Canadian Haunter's Association.
For the 11th annual Dunnett’s Dark Lair, donations accepted in support of the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre on Oct. 29 between 6-9 p.m., Oct. 30 from 6-9 p.m., and Oct. 31 from 5:30-9:30 p.m.
Dunnett's Dark Lair is located at 59 Dunnett’s Dr., near Ardagh Road and Mapleto Avenue in the city's south end.
