Just wanted to get the information on Samhain.  What time does it start, approximately, what time will the dethroning begin.  I have an event going on at the store and want to get both in as they are both important to me.  Thanks.

Oh heck!  I have a possible gig that's probably either 5-7pm or 6-8pm.  Either way I'll miss the dethroning. 

Scott, Heather, Terry, Diane, I'd like to be there, but I'm personally hoping that a paying job does get in the way.  I hope you understand.

Just a reminder that Samhain will be celebrated on Sunday, November 1st.  Come in garb or costume.  Our King and Queen of last year's Samhain, Scott and Heather, will be dethroned and a new couple will be chosen to serve as King and Queen for this year.

The entertainment line up will be great and Hez will be doing face painting as well.  Doors open at 4:00 and the good time will be non-stop until 11:00.

This will be the 10th anniversary of our celebration so let's make it special.

Great job as always, Ralf.  Thanks for capturing the evening.  Everyone looks like they had a great time and they did.
