Legends of the Dark tours back to haunt CMU
It's dark. It's spooky. It's full of surprises that will scare the socks off of some people.
Legends of the Dark is hosted by Central Michigan University's Trout Hall, starting Oct. 22 -24. This event serves as a fundraiser for local charities.
Ticket sales have already started. They can be purchased at the front desk of Trout Hall for $3 in advance. At the door, it will cost $5. Although the public is welcome to attend, it is advised children under 13 not attend.
Every night from 7:30-10:20 p.m., students will leave every 10 minues from the Down Under Food Court in the Bovee University Center. Tour guides will take the spectators through the campus. Tours last for an hour.
During those tours, spooky stories about CMU will be told. Ann M. Krzyzaniak, the Trout Residence Hall Director, said this event is a great volunteering experience for those who decide to give the tours. It is also enjoyable for the students who decide to go on the tours because of the things they learn about CMU.
"Trout Hall hosts the event, so most of the volunteers come from Trout. We also have a great relationship with the Health Professions Residential College, so they're a great help in putting on the tours, " Krzyzaniak said. "It's an event in which students get to learn about CMU folklore. It's a great volunteer opportunity for a lot of those programs that need service learning hours and we raise funds for local charities.
One of the volunteers, Andrea Dreyer, said she really enjoys being a part of a great philanthropic opportunity.
"All of our funds go towards Relay for Life, Adopt-A-Family and other philanthropies," the Cedar Springs junior said. "I have enjoyed attending the tour my freshman year, being a tour guide last year, and now helping to organize this year".
