Are you afraid of clowns? You WILL be!
- The Legend: In the Fall of 1936, the Wallace Porter Circus set up along the edge of Fancher Lake for a performance. A fire breaks out in the performer’s tent, leaving several clowns dead. It is said their spirits return every October looking to rejoin the circus that left them behind. Do you dare find out? You would best be advised to avoid dark places along the course. Also, please wear a headlamp or bring a flashlight.
