CONWAY — Hope everyone got more treats than tricks as they made the rounds for Halloween. If you want to get really scared, watch the nightly news, given the tumult the country is going through these days. But, we digress ....
THERE WERE SOME GREAT costumes and events throughout the valley. I loved Nora Mulkern Bean’s posted photo of not just one but two Elvises being in the house at the Shannon Door Pub in Jackson, with bartenders Callum Hawkes and Keith Bradley dressing as the King himself (not the Trump king, but the king of rock n’ roll, Elvis Presley, during his glittery one-piece jumpsuit Vegas phase).
