The Atlas Coal Mine would like to announce there will be no Big Boo for the foreseeable future.
Over the 10 years of Big Boo 1369 volunteers have scared 1,3063 victims and raised over $90,000 towards the preservation of the original mine buildings on our national historic site.
However all good things must come to an end. Big Boo has had 10 amazing years and everyone at the Atlas wanted to go out on a high. 2014 was our most popular Big Boo ever and we felt it would be hard to top.
The Atlas would like to thank all the souls who came out to be well and truly spooked. We also want to say a huge thank you for our volunteers without whom the event would never have happened. All those who built, designed, cooked and scared, thank you.
“It was a hard decision to come to and we thought about it long and hard as a team,” explained Julia Fielding Executive Director of the Atlas “but we all felt Big Boo had done its time.”
“We appreciate people will miss the event and thank them for their incredible support over the last 10 years.” said Kelly Eddy Director of Misery and Woe “It has been an amazing time and we couldn’t have done it without the great support of volunteers and local businesses.”
Don’t worry though there will still be Little Boo. In 2015 this will be on October 25 and is a great afternoon for families to come and celebrate everything spooky.
