Friday, October 25 2019 - Haunted House

Tweet, Facebook, Instagram... and Other social media... consider posting something like this

What to do Friday? Get in to the Halloween Spirit... Come to to our SVCTE Haunted House.
Hey Everyone, come support our Mechatronics Engineering Robot Club and Skills USA.  We are hosting a Haunted House on campus, as a charity fundraiser.

This is the 4th year hosting the Squeaky Hinges Haunted Garage at Silicon Valley CTE high school.
The cost is $5.00 but it's a fundraiser for our SkillsUSA  and Robot Club ... so it's going to a good cause...

We will be open at 5:00 and we will be hosting a safe haunt for the kids... and the $5.00 will help our students pay for their SkillsUSA & Other Club fees... please consider coming.

Address: 760 Hillsdale Ave , San Jose, CA 95136
Friday Oct. 25 - 5:00 - 9:00
Wednesday Oct. 30 - 5:00 - 9:00
Thursday(Halloween) Oct. 31 - 5:00 - 9:00

What about the Haunt? What is it like?
We provide a fun charity haunt. The haunt is Kid friendly… and while it is dark, with lots of black lights, a few strobe lights, and lots of scary skeletons and stuff, we would consider it appropriate for all ages. We can "set" it to be more or less scary depending on the ages and desires of the group going  through… There are a few "actors" in the haunt this year, but nothing will actually grab you… and like we said, we ask the kids if they want to be scared, and trigger the "startles" appropriately…
See you there...
