 Don't worry, Munster fans, the McKees will once again hold a Halloween bash at their ever-popular Munster Mansion!
Charles and Sandra McKee, as Texas Twisted first reported last year, are the Waxahachie couple who have built as their dream home a replica of the Victorian-style mansion from the 1960s TV show The Munsters. Last Halloween, the mansion was the site of the Munster Mansion Masquerade Party, attended by the actors who played Eddie and Grandpa on the original series.
This Halloween, the McKees are holding another celebration, but of a different kind. They have decided to organize a more family-oriented party, which will this year benefit the Ellis County Children's Advocacy Center.
The Center, known as The Gingerbread House, is a non-profit organization that assists Ellis County's physically and sexually abused children and their families.
The party will feature a midway with games, a haunted house, face-painting, plenty of food and, of course, tours of the Munster Mansion. The McKees will also hold a children's costume contest with prizes.
Sandra says the new family-friendly format was chosen because so many kids wanted to come last year, but were unable since the party was targeted more toward the older crowd. But she encourages fans of all ages to come out this year and help support the cause.
The party will be held Friday, Oct. 31 and Saturday, Nov. 1 from 5 p.m. to midnight. Parking is not available at the mansion; instead, park at the Waxahachie Junior High School, located at 2401 Brown St., where a bus will take you to the house. Tickets will be sold at the gate.
If you need more information, Sandra recommends calling John Wyckoff, executive director of The Gingerbread House, at (972) 937-1870. |
