WELCOME TO THIS YEAR'S HAUNTED HALL..

The Haunted Hall this year was terrific!!

The Trick or Treaters came out in large numbers. Attendance this year was the best so far. We had Spiderman, princesses, cowboys, a jellyfish, a clown and so many more creative costumes. Some of the Trick or Treaters even decided to be part of the Haunted Hall and scare the new ones going through. That was a lot of fun and created many laughs. Many thanks to the ladies that worked so hard to create this year's Haunted Hall.

I LOVE A PARADE!!!!!

I SEE LIGHT...

....yes, it's true. Although we will not be open this Friday night, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The kitchen floor was completed last night, now onto the dining room floor and last minute odds and ends. I trust you will find it was well worth the wait!

Early this afternoon a fire was reported up on Pine Creek. IDL was one of the responders. I'll post more when I know more.


**The fire burned about 15 acres.

REMODELING OF THE INN

The remodeling of the Inn is going well. Yesterday we moved the bar back about 2 feet (makes for a larger dance floor, ha!) and today we tore out the kitchen. Good hard days! Stop by and see the progress yourself.

Yesterday, we accomplished quite a bit on the Inn., however, all great things take time. That being said, there will be no Friday night dinner this Friday night and more than likely next. We are still serving coffee in the AM, so feel free to stop by and say hi.

The Inn closed today at noon.

I am very happy with the progress that we made in a day.

It's exciting!

******BIG NEWS******

The Ola Inn will be closed starting Saturday (tomorrow) at noon for 7-10 days. During this closure, we will be making repairs and "spiffing" up the place. Alan J. and myself are going to be managing the Inn for Ellen upon reopening.
