Shrieks and Hayrides

Each month, a member of the Fowlerville Business Association will host an after hours event and for the last few years Mayhew's Tree Farm and Nursery has grabbed the fall date in September for their turn. As luck would have it, the ghouls and ghosts were out enjoying the balmy weather as much as all of the lucky attendees. Food and drink was offered up by this "friendly" butler. And then after everyone was relaxed and had let their guards down, Jim Mayhew treated the brave souls to a hayride to the back acres. It was a bumpy ride but very pleasant passing by healthy cornfields and pine trees lined up like soldiers. Until . . . . . . we arrived at the "cemetary" where headstones were scattered throughout the fields. Young and old got a kick out "here lies Fred, he bumped his head, and now he's dead" or something like that. Too many to remember!
And then we ventured into Tombstone where storefronts and caves and hanging bats and skeletons were at every turn, including this one poor fellow stranded by a tree stump. Maybe one of last year's attendees that got left behind? We'll never know.

But the poor soul that got the most attention was a fellow you can watch by clicking here . . . but be prepared. It's not a pretty sight.
