Pumpkin Petunia lost her head in all the Halloween excitement. She wants you to have a safe and sane Halloween this year. Remember, Petunia is watching you so you better be good. No scary, dangerous pranks or she will get you. Yep, she can move without the rest of her body. Petunia was designed, painted and photographed by Edwinna Van Eaton who has a way with pumpkin heads.

     October 28, 2006: Cheyenne Splan, the carhop, is one of several volunteer treaters helping local businesses during the community trick-or-treat Saturday. She offered a tray of treats to young children and all the others visiting Mountain Take-Out. 
    Cheyenne can also belt out a song with the best of them, she was part of the entertainment during the 2007 Daffodil Princess selection.

     Folks doing business at the Eatonville Town Hall Halloween were greeted by witchy Christina Dargan, utility clerk. Don't let the costume fool you. Christina is a "good witch" who is always willing to help with a smile and friendly words.

...And the Town Devil...

     Judy Justice, owner of Judy's Tan & Tips in Eatonville, also greeted her patrons in full Red Devil costume. Devilish Judy even visited other businesses dressed in her very cute costume. You can tell my her big smile just how friendly she is under the red face. And no, she didn't get burned in a tanning bed.

A Clever Halloween Tip...

      October 31, 2006: Two young men, early teens or close too it, were enjoying their food at The Pizza Place Halloween evening. The kids were very hungry, trick or treating is hard work, and they ate with gusto. See the clean plates? Well, almost clean plates. One of the boys, with the half-finished soft drink, did take a slice of what may have been pizza with him.
      The boys were very neat, see the photo, but not rich. So they left  Halloween candy to tip, the always popular and fun-loving, Jeff, who serves customers at the speed of light. Several small candy bars were Jeff's tip and he got a big kick out of it. The moral is: If someone takes good care of you, and treats you with respect, they get a tip. It might be candy or a gold nugget.
     John and Tammi's Pizza Place is supposed to open as "Jebino's" on Mashell Avenue in two weeks. Already most of the Rat Pack albums, photos, etc. are gone from the little building painted as the Italian flag. Nails and double-sided tape mark the walls where Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop once peered down on patrons. Gone also is the high school photo of Louie Miller Jr., the only local man  allowed to be a member of the "Rat Pack." (Don't look him up in the history books, he's the invisible Rat Packer).
