WAIMEA — The disappearance of the corn maze from the Kaua‘i Halloween scene gave birth to an idea which blossomed into a community success.
Brycen Hiraoka and James Henriques collaborated and with the help of the community and a lot of volunteers, spawned the “Nightmare in Waimea, A Haunted Village” event.
Admission to the event was free, although contributions of non-perishable food items were highly encouraged.
“After many hours of hard work, I am pleased to announce that we collected 1,206 canned good items which were evenly distributed to West Kaua‘i charities including the St. Theresa Church, the Kalaheo Missionary Church, Nana’s House in Waimea, King’s Chapel in ‘Ele‘ele and the Waimea United Church of Christ,” Henriques said in an email. “The donations we received were greatly appreciated, especially since Thanksgiving is right around the corner.”
During the “Nightmare in Waimea, A Haunted Village,” people could traverse the former Waimea Dairy which was transformed into Spooksville with the help of numerous community organizations that helped provide a safe atmosphere.
