The Historic Wolf Hotel and Ellinwood Underground Tunnels are ready to combine the past, food and drink, and Halloween into a fun evening. A Haunted Living Revelry is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25. Ellinwood Underground City Foundation President Rick Casagrande said a tour of the tunnels will include stops in six different rooms, each with their own food and drink.
"In each location, we're going to have the historic person who was involved with each space there to greet everyone," he said. "Their spirit will be there and they will be able to talk with them and tell them a little bit about what was going on 100 and some years ago in those spaces."
Stops include the bank, harness shop, barber shop, parlor, Sunflower Dining Room, and the salon in the Wolf Tunnel. Chicken and dumplings, green beans, and a biscuit will be served in the Sunflower Room along with mimosas. Cost is $60 per person and the tours will be capped at 50 participants each.
"We'll start one at 7 and the other will begin at 8 p.m.," Casagrande said. "If we have a lot of people who are interested and go beyond the 100, we are considering adding a third time."
A silent auction will follow the tours from 9-11 p.m. A paranormal candlelight tour costs an additional $15 and begins at midnight. All proceeds go toward replacing the Wolf Hotel's foundation.
