‘CarnEvil’ hosts Food Bank fundraiser

It was an eerie, and well thought-out ‘CarnEvil’ on Thursday, Oct. 31, as Laura Forbes, a community member got her place in town ready for the Annual Halloween event.

“I’ve been doing this for years,” said Forbes. “For me Halloween is like Christmas; it’s an occasion when you can get to be as creative as you want. It has a wonderful scope for that, and the themes can be unlimited!”

Forbes, who has been living in the community for more than two decades, has always been drawn to the Halloween festivities because it indulges her creative side.

“Last year I decided since so many people visit us, why not involve the community and help out,” Forbes added.

One of Laura’s friends was dressed as the butcher at the Chop Shop, scaring visitors.

In 2018 and this year Food Bank has been the organization of her choice.

“I know that the Food Bank is often in need of donations, and that got me thinking and I priced the entry at a nominal $2; and this year it caught on and we were able to raise more than $150 for the Tofield-Ryley & Area Food Bank,” Forbes explained. . . . contd.
