Keep The Dorsett Hill Haunt open!
The Issue
The Dorsett Hill Haunt isn't just any event; it's a beloved community tradition in our area for nearly 12 years! This year, however, we face an unexpected challenge that threatens to close our beloved haunt due to just one formal complaint about traffic. In response, a cease and desist order has been issued against us, putting a halt to the festivities many of us look forward to every Halloween season.
Our haunt is well-known for its community spirit and generosity. We have always operated on a donations-only basis, offering a thrilling and enjoyable experience to everyone without any entry fee. What's more, every year, the funds we collect go back into our local community, supporting various initiatives and enhancing our neighborhoods. This event is much more than just fun; it's about community building and giving back.
We have been proactive and responsive regarding the complaint about traffic. Last year, when we first heard of potential issues, we immediately made adjustments for parking. The plan was implemented just a week after submission, showcasing our commitment to addressing concerns and improving our operations.
Despite this, our attempts to work with the local authorities and come up with viable solutions have been met with silence. We have reached out, eager for dialogue and collaboration to ensure that both the event can continue and any concerns are resolved amicably, yet we have found little support.
Our community stands at a crossroads. The decision to close The Dorsett Hill Haunt not only impacts those who enjoy the spooky fun but also affects our community’s spirit of giving and togetherness. We are more than willing to work hand in hand with officials to resolve any issues.
We need your help to show the local authorities how important The Dorsett Hill Haunt is to us all. By signing this petition, you're supporting our cause to keep the haunt alive, uphold our community values, and ensure continued donations to local causes. Please sign and help us save The Dorsett Hill Haunt!
