NORWICH – Dan and Rosemary Stacy have a long history of donating their time, money and efforts locally. This Halloween finds the couple true-to-form, as they prepare to hold the first-ever Berry Street Haunted House.

The couple – who have regularly donated to the children of the community through programs such as Toys for Tots and other events – spent approximately 15 to 20 hours putting the haunted house together, according to Dan Stacy.

“It was just a whim and we wanted to do something special for the kids,” said Stacy. “We’re constantly thinking of the children and it’s a tradition for us to donate our time and our money.”

Stacy’s wife agreed, and said the two “never had a lot growing up” and that it’s really all about helping the children.
