Volunteers prepare for Halloween Fest’s 25th year
    BIG ROCK—The haunted house that started in one room in Sugar Grove has grown to include two haunted houses, a haunted trail, games, entertainment and food for the whole family at Plowman’s Park in Big Rock. And this year, Halloween Fest will celebrate 25 years of scary fun.

The event is set for 5 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 25.

“This is our give-back to the community,” Colleen Franks said.

Colleen and her husband, Gene, started the event in a school classroom when he served on the parks committee in Sugar Grove.

“Everyone else was involved with sports, so Gene suggested a haunted house,” Colleen said. “The walls were made out of cardboard and plastic.”

After outgrowing several locations, the event moved to Plowman’s Park in 2001. Construction of the haunted house—and less scary kiddie haunted house added in 2006—takes place during the weekends between the Big Rock Plowing Match and Halloween for the one-day festival.

“The intent of the haunted house is to scare by surprise, and there are many opportunities for surprise,” said Charlene, the Franks’ daughter-in-law. “This is a unique event that’s not put on by an organization. It’s run strictly by volunteers, with donations for everything, so the event is free. It’s a fun place for parents to take their kids.”

Colleen said donations are accepted, but any funds collected are used to pay for the food and the party.

The organizers estimate the fest brings in about 3,000 people each year. Many return year after year, and that’s because the haunted house is different every year.

“My husband and I provide the theme. We design both haunted houses and provide props and costumes and sound effects,” Colleen said.

“It’s a lot of work for just one day,” Charlene admitted, but more than a hundred volunteers return each year, too. “Some parts of it, we work on all year long, but the actual building can’t start until after the plowing match.”

Four generations of the Franks family have worked on the festival.

“Mom is 85, so she won’t be out there this year,” Colleen said. “We have six children and eight grandchildren, and they’ve all been involved at one time or another.”

She said Charlene was just dating their oldest son the first year of the festival; they eventually married, and she’s still part of the volunteer crew.

Colleen said this may be the last year for the haunted house, because she and Gene are retiring from the event.

“There won’t be a haunted house unless someone steps up to volunteer,” Colleen said.

Kate Middleton and Prince William Are Expecting Baby No. 2!

Kate Middleton and Prince William Are Expecting Baby No. 2!
MAJOR news, everybody: Kate Middleton is pregnant with another royal baby! This will be the second child for her and Prince William.

“Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child,” an official announcement said this morning. “The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news.”

Kate has to cancel her recent appearances due to the pregnancy: “As with her first pregnancy, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Her Royal Highness will no longer accompany The Duke of Cambridge on their planned engagement in Oxford today. The Duchess is being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace.”




How to Buy Your Halloween Costume Online
Just as in the “real” world, there are many costume shops on the internet that all claim to be the best source for costumes and accessories. Obviously they can’t all be the best, but how can you tell which ones will be the best to deal with? After all, it’s a little harder to judge them from a website than it is by walking into their store and actually looking around and speaking with someone.

When shopping for a costume online, you should follow the same principles you would when dealing with a traditional store.

'Frozen' expected to dominate Halloween costumes
(CNN) -- Move over witches, goblins and ghouls, the stars of Disney's "Frozen" are taking over Halloween. Well, at least this year.

Holiday retailer 'Spirit Halloween' projects not only Anna, Elsa and Olaf costumes to be the hottest this year, but other classic Disney characters like Snow White will be in high demand.

Beyond Frozen, expect "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", some superheroes and a few nostalgic characters like Dr. Seuss' "Cat in the Hat" to come knocking on Halloween.

True Story: The Rooster Who Went to Vegas for Halloween
School started, so happy Halloween.

Since Christmas gets to start the day after Halloween, Halloween for me now starts the day after school starts. Consider this global holiday warming; they keep arriving earlier and more aggressively every year.

So, boo.

The best costumes don't always win trophies. In fact, sometimes they're not even condoned, as is the case with the rooster who went to Vegas for Halloween.

I grew up on a farm, and among our various critters and mammals was a particularly horrible rooster by the name of MS DOS. Maybe he was angry about being named after Microsoft's then-cutting edge "disk operating system." Maybe that justifies why he constantly chased the children of my mom's at-home daycare, jumping on their backs and pecking their heads. Or maybe MS DOS was just a rotten egg.

But one October, when my dad's feisty coworker Mark asked if he could borrow the rooster for his Halloween costume, my dad was more than relieved to turn the bird over; that meant he wouldn't have to pry the demon-rooster off the faces of innocent trick-or-treaters this year. Mark promised to treat the bird kindly, and we figured he was probably going to place MS DOS in a cage by his front door and dress up like a rancher or something like that.

Life lesson No. 1: Before you lend out your livestock, ask more questions.

I remember the scene clearly. We were sitting on the front porch when down the long, dusty, never-been-plowed-or-graded dirt road we saw two out-of-place headlights. They were connected to a long white car with at least 10 windows: a limousine.

Mark stepped out, wearing a long black fur coat and clutching a champagne glass in one hand.

"Come on, rooster!" he sang, before MS DOS's knife-like beak stabbed holes through most of Mark's face and hands. "We're going to Vegas."

My parents never did tell me the details about our rooster's adventure, beyond a few bits and pieces: Mark tried to hide the rooster under his coat as they entered various clubs, with the intention of letting his gobbly head peak out and scare people. But MS DOS had other plans, all of which involved trying to take out the human race. Mark was kicked out of every club in Vegas. After the police intercepted his last effort, Mark and MS DOS left, their tail feathers between their legs.

Obviously, MS DOS was never harmed. I can't say the same for his date.

And lest you think a little vacation is good to cheer up anybody (or anybird), the small peck-scar between my eyes is proof of the contrary. Maybe the flashing lights on The Strip skewed his aim of my eyeballs. In which case, I guess I should be thankful for Mark's most creative -- and scary -- Halloween costume ever.

I do not condone misusing innocent (or even guilty and demonic) animals for any occasion. However, the adventures of MS DOS are a reminder to think outside the box (or coop) when you're pulling together a costume for this year's back-to-school Halloween parties.

And don't try to sneak a rooster into a nightclub.

Now you know.

Melissa Rivers: A Daughter's Courage
ET has an in-depth and really sweet look at the mother-daughter bond between Joan and Melissa Rivers.

VIDEO: Melissa Rivers Only Sees One Outcome for Joan

We first sat down with the Joan and Melissa in 1988 just nine months after the suicide of Edgar Rosenberg -- Joan's husband and Melissa's father.

"We've had a very rough two years and it's brought us very close together," Joan said at the time. "It also almost ripped us apart. When there's a suicide in the
sexy lingerie cheap sexy lingerie wholesale underwear sexy underwear
family it's terrible for survivors. But if you do live through it, you come out much closer, and I think we're really on our way to being close now because of

these horrors we went through."

In 1994, the two got to tell their story in the TV movie Tears and Laughter: The Joan and Melissa Rivers Story.

"We're finally able to state our point of view," said Melissa. "I don't know if it's necessarily our version of setting the record straight but it's our version

of what we went through."

NEWS: Joan Rivers Being Brought Out of Coma

On Sunday, doctors started the process of bringing Joan out of a medically induced coma. A family source told ET that Melissa is only looking at one outcome --

that Joan will eventually come out of this.

"There is only one outlook Melissa is looking at now -- She's like, 'When my mother wakes up...,' 'When my mother see this and that ...' There is only one

trajectory she sees this going in the direction of, which is positive," a family source tells ET exclusively. "She refuses to acknowledge any other outcome than

Joan coming out of this."
