Boooo! Local establishments readying for Trick or Treating
Trick or treaters beware when you're near 126 W. Brooklyn Avenue! There's Lurch and the Grim Reaper! A top-hatted skeleton driving a hearse drawn by a white-boned steed with a pale, bleached occupant lying in back. Ghosts and headstones, creepy clowns and singing jack o'lanterns in the windows all throb to the beat of music emanating from the residence of Terry Bartlett here in Dayton. Bartlett gets a kick out of the Halloween holiday with a syncopated light show and lots of ghoulish additions to the front lawn. Check it out evenings until 10 p.m.!
