Scene Makers
We need eccentrics, practical jokers, creatives, and fun-lovers. People who don’t mind getting dirty, staying in character, and finding different ways to scare people. This is not for everyone, but those who love this stuff will have a ball!
CASH PRIZE:
There is a cash prize for the best scene voted on by the riders following the ride (and runner-up gift card prizes for the second and third best scenes). The prize amount is determined by our prize sponsorship at right.
SCHOOL GROUPS!
With four or five high schools that may want to compete, we have designed a school group competition, where the prize money for these scenes is divided amongst the school groups and the winners get a little more! The votes of the riders determine the winner. It is an incredibly fun way to volunteer and potentially get rewarded for it.
This can be any school group: sports boosters (make it a team builder), drama clubs, after-school groups, INTERACT clubs! If your child is part of these clubs, PLEASE bring them this idea and have them reach out to Cory@midcoastmaine.com
HAYRIDE INTERNS
With the school groups mentioned above, we have 2-4 paid student internships available for one student each at Morse, Mt. Ararat, Brunswick, and Richmond high schools if there is interest from a student at those schools. You will be the point of contact for all student volunteers and student group scene makers for your school, but the main portion of the internship is learning the ins and outs of creating a large community event from scratch. The internship is for 20 hours and pays $275.
BUSINESS GROUPS
A lot of team building and bonding can happen when doing a scary scene together with coworkers and friends. Pour yourself into it and have fun!
To learn more about any of these opportunities, contact Cory King at the Chamber.
