Scary Larry's Hollow House, an annual fundraising project organized by Marion youth, raised $721 for the Marion Community Christmas fund during the three hours it was open Oct. 26. “The weather was very cold, but we had a constant flow of people with standing room only at the main building at times,” said Cathy Martin, an adult adviser.
