The pre-show activities start on the evening of Tuesday, April 28th with a visit and lights on tour of Industrial Chaos in Fort Atkinson, WI. Day two will be jam packed with tours of three more Wisconsin attractions: Hartford Jaycees, Terror on Rural Street and the legendary Terror on the Fox.
The pre-show tour concludes on Thursday with a lights on tour of Terror on the Fox in the morning and a show and lights on tour of Shawno Manor before returning to the Wyndham Hotel in the late afternoon just in time to rest up before the Thursday night haunted house tour at Realm of Terror that will officially kick off HAuNTcon 2009.
