The Lubbock Ghostbusters have spent years showing up for this community, and now they\u2019re the ones who could use a little backup.<\/p>\n
I have personal experience with the Lubbock Ghostbusters, and I can say without hesitation that they are the real deal. I hired them as a photo op for my haunted houses, and they were an absolute hit. From the moment they arrived, they were fully engaged, interacting with guests, posing for photos, cracking jokes, and making the experience better for everyone involved. After their first visit to the park, the conversation quickly turned to, \u201cWhen can we get you guys back?\u201d That\u2019s how strong the impression was.<\/p>\n
What makes the Lubbock Ghostbusters special isn\u2019t just the jumpsuits or the proton packs \u2014 it\u2019s the heart behind what they do. In fact, I\u2019m actually the exception, not the rule. Most of the time, the Lubbock Ghostbusters show up for free. They support\u00a0Lubbock<\/a>\u00a0charities, community events, fundraisers, and appearances simply because they want to make people smile. Kids light up when they see them. Adults instantly feel a wave of nostalgia. They truly \u201cdo it for the smiles,\u201d and that\u2019s a rare and admirable thing these days.<\/p>\n Why the Lubbock Ghostbusters Need Help Right Now<\/p>\n Unfortunately, smiles don\u2019t pay the bills \u2014 and right now, the guys are facing a tough situation. Their iconic Ectomobile needs a new engine. While trying to preserve the life of the vehicle, a step was missed, and through no malicious fault or reckless behavior, the engine was blown. It\u2019s one of those nightmare scenarios any vehicle owner dreads, made even worse by the fact that this car isn\u2019t just transportation \u2014 it\u2019s the centerpiece of everything they do.<\/p>\n Fletcher Hall<\/a>Fletcher Hall<\/p>\n The cost of repairs is significant, and it\u2019s not something they can easily absorb on their own. To help cover the expense, the Lubbock Ghostbusters have set up a GoFundMe<\/a> to get the Ectomobile repaired and back on the road where it belongs.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0Experience Christmas Magic In Grapevine, Texas This Year<\/a><\/p>\n This is a chance for the community to give back to a group that has given so much of their time, energy, and joy to Lubbock.
