"I was working in the lab late one night..."

Check out the Icon's trove of photos from Ada's Halloween past
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 28, 2020

“I was working in the lab late one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight... ”
- From Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

- Many more scary photos at the bottom of this story -

The Icon was working in the lab late last night and discovered a trove of Halloween photos many might like to forget. These are from the 2014 and 2015 Ada Kiwanis Halloween parade and judging.

We thought since there was no parade this year - why not revisit five and six years ago. And, by the way, my how youngsters have changed! - except for Don Traxler.

Other than Don, we've not named anyone. You can figure out who you are viewing for yourself.
