Halloween haunts, happenings
Head to downtown Zebulon for scares on the square Halloween night with trick-or-treating at various businesses and a costume contest. The free community event will begin at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m.
I am taking my dog, Bo...my Portuguese Water Dog with me.
(It was a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy, you know...too bad he did not have him along that night on the bridge.)
Don't sweat all the bats
Ignore the howling wind
Walk under ladders
Through and through again.
The witches all about
On their flying brooms
Have never hurt a soul
Just their shadow looms.
Something spooky blows tonight
A northern wind it seems
Just relax..it's just Barack
He's come to tax your dreams.
