Nit Nabbers owner, Jessica Sammis, has more to offer than just her head lice expertise. In fact, for the past 9 years, Jessica has been very active in the Haunted House industry. A lover of Halloween her entire life, Jessica is a member of the International Association of Haunted Attractions (IAHA), and has visited and worked in haunts around the country. She has even lent her passion for all things haunted, combined with her experience in theater, to training actors at theme park events and independent attractions alike.
In 2009, Jessica's love of haunting has taken a back seat to the creation of her new business, Nit Nabbers. Therefore, when she heard that LifeSpan Farm was looking for someone to help with a haunted trail for their first annual 'Cluck Fest', she was thrilled to offer her services! For this event, a "hardly haunted" of "barely boo" style was in order. A 'Trick-or-Treat Trail' was suggested, and will now be Jessica's main focus (aside from head lice, of course) this October.On the LifeSpan Farm's 'Cluck Fest' Trick-or-Treat Trail, children and their families will follow a path through the woods visiting the houses of several classic Halloween characters. First stop...a witch's cottage. There, a friendly witch will greet them, cast a good luck spell, and send them on their way with a treat. Along the way, children will meet a vampire, a werewolf, a mummy, a clown, and many more friendly faces. Each person they encounter will be a lovable version of the classic Halloween horror characters. 'Cluck Fest' will be held on Saturday, October 24th, from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm. The event will include a fried chicken tasting, a pumpkin patch, the Trick-or-Treat trail, a hay maze, and much more! The address of the farm is:LifeSpan Farm - Theraputic Riding Center3701 Kidd LaneCharlotte, NC 28216LifeSpan Farm is a theraputic riding center located in North Charlotte.
