The Tyler Jaycees club needs a location for its Haunted House.

"(We) are in desperate need of a building for the annual haunted house," said member John Palmisano. "� Every year we have had the haunted house in different locations throughout the town, but this time we need help."

In the past two years the haunted house was located in the 300 block of East Ferguson Street. In 2005 it was held at Fire Mount Amusements, on Texas Highway 155.

These locations are not available, Palmisano said.

The non-profit organization is hoping someone will provide a building for use or lease for about a month.

Palmisano said time is running out.

"Advertising and construction must be done a month before opening day. If you can help, please contact us at 903-597-4787 or tylerjay-cees@gmail.com," he said.

For 35 years the Jaycees Haunted House has been a part of the Halloween observance in Tyler. Dozens of volunteers "perform" and ensure a safe environment.

Palmisano said it is critical that the haunted house is a success because it generates most of the money to stage the Jaycees Tyler Christmas Parade, annual Easter Egg Hunt for people with disabilities and the Fourth of July fireworks show at Lindsey Park.
