Happy Halloween!
The annual Halloween Parade through town happens today beginning at 3:30 from the library to the plaza. Unfortunately, I’m in class until 5:30 so I will have to miss it this year.

Ashland Monster Dash 2012 5k winner
The 5k and 10k races of the 2012 Ashland Monster Dash began at the same time. Just to the left of center you can see the winner of the 10k race, Ryan Ghelfi, who finished more than 2 minutes faster than the next racer!
David Laney edged out Trevor Palmer (aka Popeye) to win the 5k race at yesterday’s 2012 Ashland Monster Dash.
Ashland Monster Dash 2012
For some reason I’ve never been in town when the Ashland Monster Dash has happened. Last year we were in Portland. So this was my first, and it was funner than expected–even without any blue in the sky.
I have hundreds of decent images from this morning’s races and costume contest so I’ll be posting many over the coming days.
Halloween House revisited
I have shown photos of this house, all decorated up with jack-o-lanterns for Halloween, several times before. Today’s photo is the 2012 version, before the number of pumpkins have become as large as it will as October progresses.
More Zombies
With Halloween less than three weeks away, perhaps these photos will provide you with some costume or makeup ideas should you want to dress up as a zombie. I took these pics at Ashland’s Zombie Walk last week.
Thriller
Halloween is coming. Have you figured out your costume yet?
Pirates and Nuns

“Jesus Loves You But I’m His Favorite” reads the nun’s t-shirt. The posters in the background are for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) which just wrapped up its 2011 season last week.

Joe appears to have picked a new number since his was retired by the Yankees.
Thriller in the Ashland Halloween Parade
Ashland Dance Works performs Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
For a number of years now, Ashland Dance Works has been “doing” Thriller during the annual Ashland Halloween Parade. This year, instead of doing it down Main Street, like they usually do, they performed on Pioneer Street which is a hill of sorts. This made for easier viewing, assuming you were at the bottom.

Wyatt Yurth's zombie on banjo for Intuitive Compass
I’m not normally a huge fan of bluegrass music (even though Intuitive Compass’s strand of bluegrass is more than a bit twisted), but after the Ashland Halloween Parade I enjoyed listening to Intuitive Compass, who set up in the middle of the normally busy street on the Ashland Plaza. Perhaps it was the beer, or the costumes, or Wyatt Yurth’s resemblance to Mikael Akerfeldt; all I know is I felt very good at the time.
