Okay, I'm done with the events. Hurray!
For my spoooooky Halloween edition, I was hoping to find pictures of adorable little children dressed up in adorable little costumes eating enough candy to bankroll a sugar company to a Fortune 500 company. Unfortunately, my newsletter is due the DAY of Wednesday, not the night. So for fair warning, this edition contains no adorable children, unless you think I count as one. But I'm 20 years old, at least as long as you don't ask my dad who will tell you that I am six years old and always will be forever and ever. I had to stop and think to myself, "What can I do to properly reflect the Halloween holiday without the cornerstones of the season: children, costumes, and candy?" Then the answer came to me while I drove through the city: decorations! The businesses of Plattsmouth have some wonderful displays, so I figured the best course of action would be to show some of the storefront displays to get you in the spirit... before it gets into you! As usual, click on the image to see the full-sized version.
