Sugar Grove Nature Center

Most haunted houses and fright fests have closed for the year, but there are still plenty of ways to celebrate Halloween on a school night.

Some 153 members of the Funk and Stubblefield families have signed their names to a petition aimed at changing the bylaws of the Funks Grove Cemetery Association board, whose members also sit on the Sugar Grove Foundation board — which oversaw the operations of the Sugar Grove Nature Center, an educational and programming resource that served around 20,000 visitors annually for nearly 20 years.

Donors to the popular outdoor attraction outside of Funks Grove say they feel blindsided by recent changes. The nonprofit's board president says the decision was the only way to avoid shutting the center down altogether.
