The moon was full and we called it “Fright Night.” Ooo, baby! Were we...good?! This year I wanted a total differ ent effect and I did it. I decided to do movie themes. First, Tricia Coe did an excellent job making the golf cart (donated by Bob and Suzanne Jepsen) into a hearse that took our visitors through the Haunted House. And to put this act in its place, we were graced by the m orticians o f Pat and Cameron Sweeney. Each theme was sectioned off and our no. 1 actresses were Sheila Dunaway and M indy Binschus playing “Psycho;” ‘Tales from the Crypt" played by Kyle McDaniel; Rhonda and Shawn Wilhelm in “Nightmare on Elm Street;” Four years and going, Jake Roy and Corey Miller in “Fran kenstein;” “King Kong” played by Tnsh Adams and Krista Adams; “Scarecrow” by Dave “Chip” Piper; and “Pumpkin Face” by Travis Bellamy. The “Stockades” were by Salli Calvert, Sibbea Jones and Paula Spicerkuhn; Lacey Matteson and Brett Bar ber as “Mummies;” and our finale was “Return of the Living Dead at the Dead Wedding”-man of horror, Travis Wilhelm, bride and groom, Jessie Maben and Josh Roy, maid of honor and best man, Brooke Boyer and M ichael Schonbachler, guests of the wed ding, “Brain-eating Zombies,” Marcy M iller, Stephanie and Sheena Shank, Brad Bowman, Jodie Carlson, Claire Anderson, Meghan Bailey, Shelley Rietmann, Matt Young, Ariel Johnson, Darin Skaggs, Eva (not Griffith as men tioned last year) Chitty and Ivy Zimmerman; and the screaming “Skeletor” by Jerry Shank. This crew worked extremely hard and it paid off well for ex actly $300 for the Parents Club. We might have some actors and actresses in our Country Hick Town.

You people helped make this such a success. My patrolmen this year were Sid Kennedy, Leah McCarl, Gayle Gutierrez, Marina Wilhelm and the two I can’t seem to shake off, Ken Bailey and Ron Bowman. I know you two want something...I just don’t know what! Setting up is always the hard est. It took two weeks to set it up and a hurtful three hours to take it down. I never could have done this great of a job without this crew- Joe, Marina and Shawn Wilhelm went above and beyond and came up with excellent ideas to accom plish “Fright Night.” They spent countless hours helping me deco rate and think of new and better ideas. We got to know each other better and we’ve made a wonder ful friendship out of it. Thank you immensely. Leah Brosnan jumped right in and helped with decor and supplies and held watch at the front door. I’ve got her down for next year! Tricia Coe...girl...you got it goin ’! Tricia had to straighten me out and get me going in the right direction. So then I made her dig up tumbleweeds for two hours. The painting of the giant eyeball in a window sill was artistically done by Travis Wilhelm and su pervised by big brother Shawn. Thanks, Travis, for the last minute job. You did great! Joe Wilhelm’s friend, Dave Ater, put in his two- cents...literally! Like I need more supervisors. And Sheila Dunaway, for last minute jobs and finding that wonderful spider. I know I’m not mentioning ev eryone, but thank you to all that stayed to clean up and watch me cry.
