The Bates Motel Goes From Scary to Merry

December 3, 2009 Halloween, Haunt Industry No Comments


As we have been discussing the transformation from Haunt to Holiday Fun on the show and on the site, we another another one for you.

One of the America Haunts Attractions that was featured on television as well is the The Bates Motel. This event is nationally recognized and has been talked about for many years. John Kennedy, met up with Rotting Flesh Radio shortly after his visit to the Bates Motel and he loved the event. In addition, when the L.A. Haunted Hayride stopped in on RFR, they too discussed how Bates helped them get their hayride feet off the ground.

The Bates Motel continues to scare yearly with the Bates Motel Attraction, Haunted Hayride and more. People run in terror every October and Haunt Season.

Well in addition to providing a high end Haunted Attraction, the Bates Motel has made the transformation for the Christmas Holiday Season with the Arasapha Farm’s Holiday Hayride.

“This heartwarming attraction includes a delightful ride on one of our sound equipped hay wagons, through the rolling hills of Arasapha Farm, which has been transformed into a winter wonderland filled with huge light displays, decorated trees and buildings, bridges and brooks. Come face to face with real, live Reindeer and see a beautifully animated Santa’s workshop.

The hayride last about 20 minutes and is choreographed with all the favorite songs of the season. After the hay ride, relax by our bonfires or warm up with a cup of cocoa. This all new holiday hayride is perfect for all ages. Have your picture taken with Santa, and get an up close look at our famous live nativity scene that features real animals and actors. Choose from hundreds of beautiful, fresh cut Christmas Trees that include Douglas Fir, Concolor, and the ever favorite Fraser Fir. Deliveries available.We also have Wreaths and trimmings.”

The event continues to be a favorite and now you can get into the Holiday mood with your favorite Haunted Hayride. The event runs through December 23rd from 6:00-9:00 P.M. (weather permitting) and while there you can also pick up your fresh Christmas Tree to take home, decorate, and spread the Holiday Cheer.
