The 2019 Spooky Trail, “Hike of Horrors” had an amazing turnout. Best estimates are at or around 600 people came out to enjoy the spooky trail. Marcia Gnadt of the Jesse James Players told the Gazette that people came from as far away as Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, and all over the 5-state region for a Spooktacular performance. The Jesse James players also want to strongly caution parents that the show is strongly recommended for ages 10 and above, and could be too scary for younger children. Though everything on the trail is performance art, the simulated blood and gore may affect the squeamish.
Three more performances remain, Oct. 25, 26 and Halloween on Oct. 31.
