Ghosts, ghouls, vampires, and monsters might scare us with their fangs and snarls, but is there anything spookier than a creepy baby doll? In honor of Halloween, the brave souls here at the Sanilac County Historic Village & Museum are hosting a creepy baby doll contest (cue scary music).
The community is invited to submit creepy baby dolls to the contest by bringing them to the Museum Tuesday – Friday from 11am – 4pm, beginning September 11. To qualify for the contest, dolls should be received at the Museum before October 12, but will be accepted any time.
Dolls with a high creep factor are most encouraged. Think creepy, old dolls or newer dolls that have been artificially creeped out. All dolls will be (gladly) returned to their owners once the contest winners are announced.
The community is invited to view the creepy baby dolls on the following days/times:
* October 14 and 21 from 7-9pm, with your paid admission to the Haunted Village
* October 13, 20, and 27 from 1-4pm
* Additional viewing days/times may be available by contacting the office at 810.622.9946.
Visitors can cast a vote for their favorite (or perhaps least favorite) doll by placing a dollar bill in that doll’s corresponding jar.
All votes/donations will be used to support the Historical Society. The doll with the most money in its jar will be deemed the creepiest in all the land. First through third place ribbons will be awarded to the top three shiver-inducing dolls.
