Rochester’s Boyer Halloween House Just Broke Their Donation Record

It's almost two weeks since Halloween already, but the Boyer Halloween House, yes, the famous Rochester house with all of the inflatables, just released their final count for donations to Channel One Food Bank this year. And they broke a record!

They also gave us a little peek behind the scenes at the effort that goes into putting all of this on every year.

Boyer Halloween House in Rochester Raises Record Money for Channel One

In their annual post on Facebook announcing how much money they raised, they estimate that around 26,000 people came by in the 15 nights they were open this year. That's crazy!

They also broke their number of inflatables record with a total of 172 this year. They said they will not break that record. I don't blame them, there's only so much space in their yard.

And the other, important, record that they broke was that they raised $12,019 for Channel One this year.
