Ashmore Estates in Ashmore, Illinois suffered major damage from a tornado last night. It is owned by Scott “the Spookmeister” and Tanya Kelly. They lost the roof of the building, the clown maze, the concessions shed, and a camper. The family and animals are safe.

EVERYTHING MUST GO: They have to immediately sell all costumes, props, software, animations, the solar powered marquis sign and all other haunt paraphernalia. Please call Scott 217-512-9499. They have no power and no access to Facebook, so please contact via phone as necessary.

Ashmore Estates
22645 E CR 1050N
Ashmore, IL 61912

From Scott and Tanya: We can't check FB easily right now, so if you're asking what you can do to help, this is what you can do:

  1. Repost that we are selling all the props, costumes, and other haunt paraphernalia asap.
  2. Come over any time today, and bring your gloves, mud boots and muscles. We need to move a lot of things very quickly.
  3. Bring us cardboard cartons and boxes.

Thank you so much. Our grief and shock over these losses is eased by how you, our community of friends and loves ones, are reaching out to us. Leave a Comment Go to Post...
