High Noon

In a small town, you really have to cadiornote activities. There is a long-standing major activity by another civic group on Halloween and we can't draw enough to afford competition. Not saying we're a "one-horse" town, but we're pretty much a "one-big event" town. But beyond that, I guess the name "ghost walk" does give a different connotation. These aren't "scary" ghosts. It's intended as a history lesson and the roles are written as the ultimate "friendly" ghosts. Our inspiration comes from the American Cemetery at Natchitoches mixed with Wilder's "Our Town." The closest we get to anything scary or "spooky" is renactment of a duel. We focus on sad topics, such as a family with six or seven children who died as infants or small children, but not frightening stories. Those are our reasons for not being on Halloween, plus many years we've tied into Veteran's Day.
