[Haunt Weekly] - Episode 245 - Lessons From Our Closure

Last year was a very rough year for us. Due to some serious road work taking place, we were forced to cancel our 2019 season.

Now, due to COVID-19, many haunts are finding that their 2020 season is hanging into balance. However, if you do have to cancel your season, it's important to cancel it right.
