Dear Wareham Community,

Bog Fright Night had its sixth successful haunt thanks to many businesses, organizations, families and individual volunteers.

Foremost, we are ghoulishly grateful to A. D. Makepeace for not only allowing us to haunt their backyard, but also for event registration, storage & nights of operations.  Thanks to Edaville USA for the additional wagons for our riding guests.  Bog Fright Night is truly a community effort and your contributions are deeply appreciated.

Thanks to New England Sandblasting, NSTAR, Joseph Barboza Sr, Marc’s Auto, Taylor Rental, Eastern Bank, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Clark Home Improvement, Sperry Tents, Wareham EMS, Gaumont’s Post Time Signs, Stop & Shop, Shaw’s Supermarket, AWG Photography, WCTV, United Way of Greater New Bedford  and 3d Creation Studios for donated products and services.

Thanks to Kaleidoscope of Dance & Gymnastics, Showstoppers and Johnny’s Basement who entertained the souls waiting in line for the wagons.  The Texiera, Bird, Gallagher, Bridge, Skolnik, Winn and Ruiz families created additional scenes along the route filled with “boggers” from Upper Cape Tech and Wareham Public School families. The Sullivan family organized bogger families and behind the scene volunteers.

Thanks to our annual riders.  We love your enthusiasm, appreciation & humor, as well as your fright.   Riders & boggers, especially the kids, are our ghoul fuel!

The Sixth Bog Fright Night is bittersweet, as it’s our last haunt on Frog Foot Bog.   A.D. Makepeace continues to support Bog Fright Night, but we need to find a new location for the event.  For the three organizations (Onset Youth Center, MA Children’s Relief & the Wareham Public Schools) to continue to hold Bog Fright Night, we need the community's assistance to find a new venue, and all that the move would entail.

We have heard and read your Bog Fright Night (BFN) kudos.  Thanks!  We know it’s a great thing; an old fashioned, reasonably priced community event primarily involving area youth, with the proceeds rolled back into organizations supporting or educating youth.  Hopefully, we are calling this transition BFN CPR & not BFN RIP.

Thanks to all who contributed to a great six-year run and we hope you join us to keep BFN alive. In the next few weeks, an information and sign up campaign rolls out on WCTV and “Bog Fright Night 2014 Campaign” Facebook page, as well as in press releases. Please remember help us keep our motto true, especially for our youngest ghouls - Once a bogger, always a bogger!
