Contest 6

It’s our last giveaway of the Halloween season. This time around the Mayor of HeidiTown bought two tickets to Hearts & Horses’ haunted house in Loveland.

It’s October and that means Halloween is just around the corner. Now I’ll be honest, the Mayor of HeidiTown (that’s me) isn’t a huge fan of haunted attractions. In fact, I’m a big chicken.
