09/26/11 More than 600 people got a preview of the 2011 Niles Haunted House before it opened to the general public on Friday, September 9, during a “Sneak Peek Party” to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Indiana.  The event collected 1,375 pounds of non-perishable food items to benefit the Food Bank’s 185 member agencies in northern Indiana.

Niles Haunted House, along with promotional partners The CW 25 and The Vampire Diaries, R & B Car Company and CheckSmart came together to provide assistance to the Food Bank of Northern Indiana with the “Sneak Peek Party.”  Attendees received free tickets for donating non-perishable food items at participating partners with overwhelming success.
