1995-2025. Thirty incredible years.
Thanks to everyone who came out this season, making our final year a tremendous success. 2025 brought approximately 7000 visitors, making year 30 one of our biggest and best ever. Whether this was your first time visiting us, or maybe your 30th, we cannot begin to thank you enough for your support.
Since 1995, Bedlam in the Boro has always been an exciting time for our community and our volunteers. Many of us look forward to this time of year and the fun that it brings.
Putting-on this event is an enormous undertaking. Volunteer members, their families, and friends have spent thousands of hours crafting and preparing this haunt year after year. All of our attractions were designed and hand-built in our spare time. Generations of our community members, young and old, have stepped up to assist us as actors on our haunted hayride or in the house of horror. Thousands of service hours were earned by our local students.
Countless bales of straw have been tossed and stacked, in & out of wagons on warm days and cold nights. Wagons, tractors, and straw were all donated by our neighboring farmers- in the middle of harvest season.
Neighbors along the hayride route have allowed us to use their properties for our skits, borrow their electricity, and put up with the mischief and noise until the wee hours of the night.
Nearby businesses have repeatedly sponsored us, some providing tens of thousands of dollars over time to help us with our advertising and production costs.
Countless hot meals, desserts and drinks have been prepared and served by the hands of volunteers since the early days inside the old fire station.
These are just a few of many moving parts that came together every October to create something extraordinary. We truly do have the best community.
Most of all, thirty years of Bedlam in the Boro should be remembered as a testament to our dedicated members and their pride in our community volunteer fire department. It has been a great run, but now it is time to return the month of October to all of those who have sacrificed so much. Next October in Lineboro will be bittersweet without the sound of screams, horns, and chainsaws. All good things have a beginning and an end, and this is the end.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We hope that you will cherish your fond memories of Bedlam in the Boro as much as we will.
