Sutter Creek – Sutter Creek City Hall will be home to a grade school fundraiser come October when local business owners will be relocating their Haunted House, to the basement of City Hall. Daniel Bruen, a local business owner, approached the Sutter Creek City Council during a public comment period earlier this month and said he had been working with city staff on the possibility of using the basement. He said the past 2 years, he and volunteers had been using the American Exchange Hotel as the site of its fundraiser, a haunted house, with proceeds benefiting the Sutter Creek Elementary School. Bruen told the council that this year they cannot use the hotel, and City Manager Rob Duke suggested they try using City Hall. Duke told the council that they needed to know that Bruen and his crew wanted to use the city hall. Mayor Gary Wooten said “it is scary down there, actually.” He also said he supported the endeavor, and the city being self-insured would help the project. The council in a consensus supported the idea. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
