La Conner loves Halloween!

Watch out for this guy on Halloween night. He jumps from roof to roof in La Conner and is described as black, furry, is known to purr and has a record of shredding trick-or-treat bags in search of canned tuna. – Photo by Don Coyote

And don't forget the Zombie Walk at Gilkey Square at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 27 with Warm Bodies author Isaac Marion.

Two parties for kids on Halloween:
Community Halloween in the haunted old school gym 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday.
That one is followed by the fun Halloween Party at the Swinomish Youth Center 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday. 

And, there really is some news:
La Conner is the new home of a boat builder who moved here this week from Bellingham. Mavrik Marine, builder of welded aluminum commercial boats, has leased the Port of Skagit's new building on North 3rd. Street at La Conner Marina. Read about them in today's paper.

This week's Police Blotter has proof you can get arrested for driving on a suspended license while 
walking.
8:38 p.m.: Gotcha – While on patrol, a deputy observed someone whom he recognized as having an outstanding arrest warrant walking along Morris Street in La Conner. The person was arrested for an outstanding warrant for driving with a suspended license.

Our award winning columnists are VERY entertaining today -- Jim Smith boils down all the election season political issues of the town; Mickey Bambrick had Norwegian guests who thought a tour of New York City would be a day trip from La Conner and Mel Damski is just plain unhinged -- he's talking about zombies en-route from Sedro-Woolley to La Conner.
