Halloween

Pictured above are the “Zombies of Hwy 107”, Rebecca Reeks, Bloody Bentley, Jerry Jawbreaker, Zelda Zombie and Melted Mike. They have been stalking the Holmes family for the last 11 years.

For the Holmes family, October means mums, pumpkins and reanimated corpses -- or at least it’s been that way for the last eleven years.

Chris and Amber Holmes said that in 2014 is when “they” started showing up. At first there were just two, Rotted Ralph and Zombie Zeke. But, it seemed where one or two aimlessly amble, others began to congregate.

The employees of a local business in Fayette greeted its customers on Halloween dressed as Princesses. Shown from left: Gabby Chambless (Elsa), Nancy Holliman (Princess Peach), Teresa Taylor (Elsa), Daphne Wilson (Queen Daphne), Angie Gillispie (Belle) and Shavonne Eatmon (Cinderella).

 Children love to go “trick-or-treating” each year around Halloween. They love to dress up in their favorite characters, and most children really love getting lots of candy to eat. Yet, Halloween is a scary time of year for many reasons, and lots of those reasons are due to unintentional accidents that can quickly change the life of a family forever.

Residents at the Fayette Medical Center - Long-Term Care facility treated pre-school children in the area to treats on Halloween during the facility’s annual event. Children politely walked through the hallways in their colorful costumes, greeting the residents and receiving candy on their journey. Several of the residents and many of the staff members also dressed in colorful outfits as they waited to greet the children.
