Boo Bash on Blackwell to bring Halloween fun to Blackwell Avenue Oct. 27

Ghosts, goblins, costumes and candy will take over Blackwell Avenue next month as the Blackwell Chamber of Commerce hosts its Boo Bash on Blackwell, a free community Halloween celebration.

Boo Bash on Blackwell is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. along a designated section of Blackwell Avenue.

The event will bring local businesses and families together for an evening of trick-or-treating, games, activities and a costume contest, offering children and families a safe place to celebrate Halloween.

Local businesses are being invited to set up booths along Blackwell Avenue, where they can distribute candy, host games or activities and promote their businesses while interacting with families from throughout the community.

Businesses can keep things simple by handing out treats or get creative by decorating their booths and offering Halloween-themed activities.

The Chamber said the event is designed to combine Halloween fun with an opportunity for businesses to connect directly with the community.

Businesses interested in hosting a booth must register by Oct. 15. Registration is available online at surveymonkey.com/r/BOOBASH26, and a QR code linking to the registration form is included on promotional flyers for the event.

Boo Bash on Blackwell is free and open to all ages.

The event is presented by the Blackwell Chamber of Commerce with support from presenting sponsors the City of Blackwell, CMC and Stillwater Medical - Blackwell.

Additional information and promotional materials for Boo Bash will be released by the Chamber as the Oct. 27 event approaches.

But director Dave Green and writer Samy Burch’s Coyote vs. Acme is much more than a laugh-out-loud legal comedy. At its heart, it is a movie about failure.
More specifically, it is a triumphant movie about what comes after failure.

It is about resilience. About trying again when common sense tells you to quit. About refusing to let the possibility of losing become an excuse for never attempting anything at all. And, perhaps most sweetly, it is about the people who are quietly rooting for us: the people watching from the sidelines, wanting us to succeed and counting our victories as if they were their own.

“Maybe tomorrow.”Those two words arrive at the very end of Coyote vs. Acme, during the film’s text-crawl epilogue. After everything Wile E. Coyote...
