SOLON– It’s Halloween eve, and scarecrow and Mr. Bones are decorating the cornfield with bright streams of orange and black crepe paper. Gaily colored lanterns swing from the corn stalks, and a bonfire sends strange shadows against the moon. Garlands of bittersweet twine around the old cider press, as the apples turn into spicy cider. The smell of pumpkin pie drifts on the smoky wind. A crow perches on the Book of Spells, as a giant owl sits silently in the shadows watching pumpkin man roasting hot dogs for the party. A haunted mirror hangs on the old barn door reflecting the festivities.

Check out the cake pan collection for that something special for your Halloween party. There are pumpkin pans, ghost pans, a tombstone and a scarecrow among others in the collection of over 50 pans available for check-out.

The costs is $7 for adults, $4 for children (6-12), and five and under are free for all-you-care-to-eat pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, hash browns, juice, coffee and milk. All proceeds go to the legion’s new interior painting and renovations.

SHUEYVILLE– A pair of underground storage tanks in this small Northwest Johnson County community should bring comfort to residents and firefighters alike.
The two tanks will hold 28,000 gallons of water for fire protection in a town without fire hydrants due to the lack of a municipal water system.
