The organizers of a former Kelowna haunted house are setting their sights on the Christmas season instead.
For years, a Kelowna family decorated the outside of their home on Grenfell Road, raising thousands of dollars for the food bank and seeing thousands of visitors walk through their spooky outdoor experience.
Due to the pandemic, they were unable to continue the haunted house and passed along the torch to a Vernon man. This Christmas season, organizers of the haunted house are returning instead with their second seasonal parade.
