MASK UP for the Raven's Grin Inn!

There is a small business we know that deserves all the support we can send their way! Raven's Grin Inn is a legend in the haunted house industry; not only in Illinois, but nationwide. After 33 years of uninterrupted service to adventure seekers year-round, Jim and Jessica Warfield made the decision to pause their show until it is safe to reopen. Like most small businesses, the unforeseen duration of this pandemic is starting to take its toll and they have bravely reached out for help to keep their legendary haunted house afloat until we can all visit them once again. We at HauntedIllinois.com wanted to do something special for our friends at Raven's Grin Inn, so we have purchased a limited number of Raven's Grin Inn face masks which are available for sale today. 100% of the sales will be sent directly to Jim and Jessica to help them face these difficult times. These masks are $15 each and shipping is $4 per order. The link to purchase is below. Thank you for supporting small business! https://haunted-illinois-co.square.site/
