CARD OF THANKS
It was Oct. 30th, a dark and
stormy night. 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. And who knows, its pos
sible, if she sees fit, that we may
make the Rosie O'Donnell Show!
Thank you for the donations
made by the Fair Board and Com
mittee, Bob and Suzanne Jepsen,
Lott’s Electric, Country Rose,
Tnsh Sweeney, Herman Winters,
Jane and Tom Rawlins, Randy
and Vicki Raybum, Lori Straley,

player and enjoyed crocheting,
knitting and needlepoint.

Kaedene Bailey, Maria Theis, Joe
Miller, Tricia Coe and Joe and
Marina Wilhelm for the many
items given and lended, and happy
to do so. 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. Jessie Maben, Josh Roy,
Rhonda, Shawn and M arina
Wilhelm, Ron and Brad Bowman,
Darcy Coil, JoyceKay Ho'lomon,
Ken, Kaedene and Meghan
Bailey, Marc, Tami and Shelley
Rietmann, Corey and Marcy
Miller, Casey Evans. Tnsh Adams,
Sheila Dunaway, Mindy Binschus
and Cousin Joe.
Last, but not least, I would like
to say thank you to the two people
who have made me happy in help
ing them the last four years and
that I just want them to know
“Imagination and Great Warped
Minds” do think alike. Se ya in the
Twilight Zone-Darcy Coil and
Kaedene Bailey!
Thanks muchly.
