Event Description: 
We will be taking a bus from HGS to the Haunted Isle at the Shoreline Trolley Museum in East Haven. As it is explained: "Legend has it that somewhere in the woods at the end of the trolley tracks, lurk the things that nightmares are made of. This fall a lonely trolley will carry passengers down the tracks to the gate at the start of the trail. The choice is yours... enter if you dare!" Carnival food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Overall Evaluation: 
The administrative office was closed the whole week preceding the event. We were not able to speak about ticket pick up and purchase because of this before the event. When we arrived the people working didn't know what to do. We worked it out with the email I showed them. The p-card was not accepted so we used Jen's card. We all were put on our own trolley. They had us wait about 20min and loaded us on the other side of the tracks. Recommend figuring out purchase way in advance. The bus driver was fantastic. Having the glowsticks, candy, and trivia on the bus also was a hit. Over all the trip worked out great and people seemed to enjoy it.
