Organizers present $5,780 check and community donations from Walk of the Dead event
Summary
Representatives of the Walk of the Dead haunted trail presented a $5,780 check to the city for Cook Park and reported cumulative revenues over eight years; organizers said proceeds also fund fishing-derby prizes and nature‑area trail work.
Darla Kreetsche, a board member with AGES Community and organizer of the Walk of the Dead haunted trail, presented the city's share of event revenue — $5,780 — and described the attraction's contribution to local tourism. Kreetsche said the event has brought cumulative revenue to the city over eight years and that organizers purchased $500 in fishing‑derby prizes for an upcoming May event.
Organizers also noted the Walk of the Dead's broader community benefits, including trail work near the nature center and repeat recognition among state attractions. Council received the check and thanked organizers for the volunteer effort and program support.
