Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is kicking off Christmas in July by revealing a holiday-themed haunted house for Howl-O-Scream, plus savings on their Howl-O-Scream tickets, according to a news release.

Last month, News 6 asked its viewers and readers to nominate an essential worker who could use some Christmas in July-style cheer. The number of submissions we received was truly astounding, and the people we learned about are some real, everyday heroes in our community. We got submissions for people like Cristina, who works at a hospital and has been treating COVID-19 patients since the pandemic started. Nicole, who is a nurse at an area hospital, has also been treating COVID-19 patients since the pandemic began. It wasn’t just hospital workers who were nominated.

And we may be in Florida, but its beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And WKMG-TV News 6 is getting the Central Florida community in the festive mood this July. Now is your chance to celebrate a special edition of the holiday season and maybe win some prizes. Use the form below to submit a picture of your favorite essential working or first responder and write a short description about how they help others during these difficult times. Once you complete the form, you and your nominee are entered to win one of several free haircuts from Fantastic Sams.
