  • The event only takes place during two weekends

One business is offering some good, clean Halloween fun.

The Rainforest Car Wash in Medina is back with its Haunted Car Wash event after experiencing success last year.

"It went viral. It was a huge hit. We were anticipating maybe 500 cars. We ended up with more than 1,500. It was a sensation. We were not expecting that turnout and we were very grateful for it. It was amazing to be able to provide that for people," said Tara Crawford, from the car wash.

While many events are being canceled this year because of the pandemic, this one doesn't have that problem. It’s no-contact format fits perfectly with the social distancing protocols of 2020.

"It gives some people a chance to get some semblance of normalcy back into their lives," Crawford said. "You can still enjoy Halloween. You can still get that spooky experience that you want, but from the safety of your vehicle.”

Organizers of the Haunted Car Wash say it is a family-friendly event, but it is not for the faint of heart.

“So, there is going to be jump scares. There is going to be creepy costumes. We’ve had toddlers to full-grown adults come through so it really depends on what you are comfortable with,” said Crawford.

If you want to test your bravery this Halloween season, you can head to The Rainforest Car Wash in Medina.

The Haunted Car Wash will only take place for two weekends: Oct. 16 to Oct. 18 and Oct. 23 to Oct. 25.
