Don't miss “Lights ON!” Are you afraid of the dark and the haunted barn? New this year from 6-7pm nightly, the lights will be ON and there is no need to be afraid. See how the haunted house really works and calm your fears at the same time.

Haunted Barn – The old, creepy, beef barn at the Bureau County Fairgrounds is transformed into the main haunted attraction. Wind through the dark on dirt floors in this old wooden building, which only adds to the atmosphere of the haunted house. The barn even comes with its own bats. You never know what is going to pop out of the corner or appear in the maze of tunnels throughout the barn. And, you won’t want to miss any of the haunted scenes within the barn. Attractions in this year’s haunted barn include:

• Gilbert Mine
• Pirates of the Caribbean - The Wreck of the Black Pearl
