A gigantic skeleton guards a “cemetery” in an area front yard just prior to Halloween next Tuesday. After warm, mild temperatures last weekend and early this week, more seasonal conditions are forecast for next week with highs in the mid-to-high thirties with low chances of snow as Halloween approaches. Trick or treaters may find it necessary to bundle up to make their rounds on Tuesday. (–photo by Dennis Walker)

Thu, 10/19/2023 - 12:00am

Shelton's Food Pantry and Afterschool Backpack Program are once again replenished with donations from generous residents and volunteers. In an effort to serve those less fortunate, local Lions Club members and school students traveled door-to-door on Wednesday, October 11, collecting nonperishable food. The items were then organized for distribution at the Shelton United Methodist Church. Pictured above, left to right, are some of the many participants involved, Connie Rocker, Deb Rouse, Jeni Oliver, Lori Cornelius, Kari Willis, Nora Johnson, Kay Johnson, Knox Johnson, and Cindy Brandt. Everyone who contributed to make this year’s food drive another huge success is greatly appreciated. (—courtesy photo)
