5th Annual Haunted Hayride & Midway
Hidden deep within the Flathead Valley stood a remote asylum where Dr. Elias Varnum conducted unspeakable experiments while his eerie companion, Bonzo the monkey, watched from the shadows. Then, one violent night, the patients revolted. The staff vanished. The doors were sealed, and the asylum was forgotten. No bodies were ever recovered. No trace of Dr. Varnum was ever found. Yet every October, strange lights flicker within the ruins and distant screams echo through the darkness. Some say the asylum never truly closed... it simply stopped letting people leave.
