ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (KGUN) — The “Tomb Town” terror trail is back for its 24th year. This time, the one dollar entrance fee helps raise funds for the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona and the Tucson Dog Action Team Advocacy.

“This is our community and we love Tucson. It’s like everyone in Tucson is always happy to help others and we want to do the same,” said Jenny Stewart who is working with her husband to transform their yard for the event.

Stewart explained how “Tomb City” began.

“We love Halloween and we have big gardens, so we thought why not keep filling it? Every year we add more, we add more, we almost run out of space,” Stewart said.

The cemetery-themed trail is full of animatronic figures, hand-crafted spooky structures, and live actors.

Trever Hawks hiked the trail with his mother and father.

“It was a little scary. I jumped seven times,” Hawks said.

Until this year, the event lasted two days, with both evenings benefiting the community food bank.

“I don’t think anyone should go hungry,” Stewart said.

This year, the event spans three evenings, with the final evening raising funds for the Tucson Action Team.

Nancy Grayson volunteers for a nonprofit organization. She explained that they do whatever is necessary to help dogs in Tucson, including educating school children and adults about animal safety.

“We’re trying to speak up because dogs don’t have a voice, so we are their voice. That’s what we’re advocating for and so we’re trying to help with the laws in our city, state and county “, Grayson added.

“We’re excited because we need the money because we also offer spay and neuter clinics and vaccinations,” Grayson said. “So, again, we’re trying to help the community.”

Last year, the event raised $5,300.

“This year is the first time we’ll be open three nights, so it’s kind of scary and it’s going to be fun,” Stewart said.

To join in the Halloween festivities, visit the trail at 8343 N Wanda Rd from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. through November 1.
