Not only is the popular Historic O乌鸦传媒橩eefe Ranch fundraiser, Field of Screams returning for its sixth year this October, its main brainchild Glen Taylor also returns.
乌鸦传媒淚t will be one year on this year乌鸦传媒檚 event opening date, Oct. 12, that Glen experienced an accident at the ranch while putting finishing touches on last year乌鸦传媒檚 Field of Screams that left him a quadriplegic,乌鸦传媒� said spokesperson Carmen Thompson.
乌鸦传媒淎 man full of adversity and way too much passion for this project, Glen hasn乌鸦传媒檛 let the accident hold him back from his 乌鸦传媒榖aby乌鸦传媒� and he乌鸦传媒檚 back to see that this year乌鸦传媒檚 Field of Screams not only happens but that it is bigger and better than ever.乌鸦传媒�
O乌鸦传媒橩eefe Ranch first started doing this fundraiser six years ago in partnership with Vernon乌鸦传媒檚 Science Centre and has since been on its own. The fundraiser helps with the much-needed funds to pay for operations and maintenance of the much-loved Historic Ranch. Every year, the ranch sees more and more visitors from all over the world whether staying at the newer RV park, or serving as a place for kids to come visit animals or perhaps to have an unforgettable backdrop for an epic wedding, not to mention the Field of Screams event along with a lot more: a fantastic restaurant, Cowboy Dinner Shows, Yoga with Goats and on and on. The importance of O乌鸦传媒橩eefe Ranch isn乌鸦传媒檛 just its past history, its the history that it乌鸦传媒檚 making right now.
乌鸦传媒淭o keep up with making the Field of Screams a historical event, creative director Matt Brown along with Taylor has made some big changes this year,乌鸦传媒� Thompson said.
乌鸦传媒淚n order to contend with the increasing popularity of the event and the sheer amount of people that are coming out each year, this year乌鸦传媒檚 event promises to be not only bigger and better but be able to handle many more visitors than ever before. Just the change in the design of how the lineups will be managed this year will be a massive improvement cutting down wait times, keeping patrons better managed and more comfortable. Patrons will also have the option of purchasing a wristband for all three mazes eliminating the need to sit in a line-up three times waiting to pay for each maze.乌鸦传媒�
The fact that the event will flow better is huge, but perhaps the more exciting announcement that will help contribute to the better flow and shorter wait times is that this year乌鸦传媒檚 Field of Screams will have three mazes that are in conjunction with this year乌鸦传媒檚 theme: 3 Ring Mayhem.
For those of you that are deathly afraid of clowns and scary carnivals, this event is not for you. Broken ride carnage, a Haunted Opera House, a life-sized 乌鸦传媒楯ack in the Box乌鸦传媒�, Spooky Carnival Tents and so much more left to be a surprise - this year will dig down into your deepest, tucked away fears and expose them for all to see,乌鸦传媒� she said.
O乌鸦传媒橩eefe Ranch and Taylor have also upped the production value by bringing in some more professional set builders, bigger and badder sound designs and event swag available for purchase.
This year乌鸦传媒檚 Field of Screams event will also run two days longer than last year乌鸦传媒檚 11 days.
乌鸦传媒淪o, come on out to have your wits scared right out of you,乌鸦传媒� Thompson said.
The dates for this year乌鸦传媒檚 Historic O乌鸦传媒橩eefe Ranch, Field of Screams are Oct. 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30. Gates open at 6 p.m. and event starts at 7 p.m. Each maze is $10 per person. Oct. 23 has a special rate of three mazes for $20.
