Hey there! Yesterday was quite the day around Abilene, with a mix of spooky preparations and some serious news hitting the airwaves. As we gear up for Halloween, folks are buzzing about the best trick-or-treat spots in the Big Country. Sayles Boulevard is a favorite for many, and local churches are also getting in on the action, making it a fun-filled night for kids and families. It’s great to see everyone getting excited about the festivities, especially as the weather turns a bit chillier!

Speaking of the weather, the National Weather Service issued the first freeze watch of the season, so it looks like we might need to bundle up soon. Temperatures are dropping, and it’s a good reminder for everyone to prepare for the colder days ahead. Be sure to check your outdoor plants and bring in any sensitive items, as the Big Country is in for a frosty surprise!

In more serious news, there was a tragic incident in Brown County where two suspects have been charged with capital murder after allegedly causing the death of a woman in a horrifying manner. It’s a grim reminder of the challenges we face, but the community is rallying together as always, supporting one another during tough times.

On a brighter note, there's good news for lovers of mini-golf! The historic course formerly known as Play Fair Park has been rebranded and is now simply called The Park, under new management. It’s exciting to see local favorites get a fresh start, and we can’t wait to see what new adventures await there. So, whether you’re planning your trick-or-treat route or hitting up a round of mini-golf, there’s plenty to keep us busy around town!
