Here's the current list of projects that need help being planned, built, repaired or re-envisioned for larger scale!
The skeletons throughtout the maze need solar retrofits so they don't need to be wired or battery powered

The Witch House (one of the main attractions at the event) needs a new enclosure that can be re-used for multiple seasons
