The Montezuma-Cortez High School Drama Department will creep you out Oct. 31 for “Infested: The Haunted House.”
The haunted house will be Oct. 31 from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Johnson Building, 925 S. Broadway.
It is expected to be a creepy and crawly production. Drama instructor Nicholaus Sandner said he didn’t recommend that small children and arachnophobes attend.
Proceeds will benefit the theater department.
Tickets to enter will cost $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. If you bring a nonperishable foot item, you get 50 cents off your ticket price, up to the full cost of the ticket, Sandner said.
People can bring nonperishable food and get discounted tickets to the haunted house. Donations will go to “Trick or Treat So Kids Can Eat.”

Dolores
The Dolores Middle School/High School Parent Teacher Organization is hosting the carnival for all ages Friday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. in the courtyard of the Dolores School District Office, 100 N. 6th St.
The senior class is putting on a haunted house in the scary board room. There will also be a less frightening haunted house for the little ones.
Chili, cider, hot chocolate and baked goods will be available for sale.
Teddy Bear preschool and other student organizations will have booths too, Pierce said.
Also Halloween night, the Dolores Food Market will display jack-o’-lanterns. Owner Taz Vass says there will be about 180 pumpkins. Vass donates the pumpkins, which students carve and then display in front of the store.
