The Haunted Woods, which has become a Halloween tradition for residents in Williamsburg, has been causing screams and laughter at WJAA fields since 1985. This years marks the 25th hair raising event.

The fund-raiser is sponsored by the Williamsburg Junior Athletic Association. The funds are used to keep the athletic fields in good shape and provide equipment to the sports teams.

“The idea for this fund-raiser was actually the brainchild of the Lung family. We really can’t credit specific persons as being the ones who started the Haunted Woods at WJAA,” says Mayor Mary Ann Lefker.
