Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Johnny Mack with five good news
Halloween stories. Let's road for Grace Goul. She's from Eerie
and she's a quarter finalist in the Face of Halloween
twenty twenty five online competition. Now she spells her last
name g u e L. I pronounced it Ghoul. Maybe
it's Guel, or maybe it's just the perfect name for
somebody in the Face of Halloween twenty twenty five online competition.
The contest raises funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation. Public
voting determines the winner, who will receive thirteen grand at
a feature in Rue morg magazine. Her birthday is on Halloween.
Her last name is Ghoul or Guel. She's perfect. Founded
in nineteen eighty two, Starlight Children's Foundation is a nonprofit
organization that delivers happiness to seriously ill children and their
families through programs and initiatives. Goule said, there was an
ad in my Facebok book feed. I clicked to learn
what it was, and then when I saw it, I
was hooked. I submitted an applicant entry and then received
an email. I was accepted and invited to fill out
a contest and form. She describes her entry as a
mix of humor and heart, and says, Halloween has always
meant more to me than costumes and candy. It's my birthday,
and it was the day my dad made me feel
like the most special kid in the world. He'd bake
and decorate my cake, filled the house with balloons and streamers,
and would take me and my friends and haunted houses.
Since he passed away in twenty twenty two, Halloween hasn't
felt the same. But my fiance has helped keep that
magic alive, celebrating meat, encouraging my wild ideas, and reminded
me that love is what makes any day special. She
fondly remembers when her dad searched for a Michael Myers costume,
not Mike Myers, Michael Meyers, the Halloween Guy for her
twelfth birthday. She said, back then it wasn't a common
costume to find, but he always supported and went along
with my crazy ideas and requests. If she wins, not
only does she get the cash prize and the future
of the magazine, she gets a chance to meet Jimmie
Lee Curtis and says, I'll spend the unlucky thirteen thousand
dollars on an hour, Haunted Nuptials and Honeymoon Bury some
away in saving in reserve a slice for a Cadillac Superior.
Hearse because nothing says happily ever After like a gothic
getaway car. Love it, good luck. The Brewery Town Dog

family friendly Halloween party centered around, of course, corgis. Cincy
Corgi's was founded by Nicki, who is a dog mom

to bring the community together and dog lovers together, and
people who may not have a chance to go out
and do something fun. Eleven four Saturday, Horsepower Farm in Middletown.
All right, story number four. I know you're keeping track.
A new survey reveals that the adulta trend has continued
to soar. Now. I saw that and I was like,
I don't know if that's going to be appropriate. It
is appropriate. I don't know what you were thinking adult
aween is. It's not that at all. This survey shows
that over half of adults fifty four percent, believe they
deserve their own adults Halloween night without childcare responsibilities. I agree.
I hit the brewery. They have a little costume contest,
have a couple of beers. We never win. I still
think my Bill Belichick costume from two years ago was
spot on. The study also reveals that sixty five percent
of adults would rather face a haunted house than running
into their ex Sixty two percent of adults believe Halloween
is as much for adults as it is for children's.
Seventy one percent of parents agree Halloween belongs to grown ups.
Forty seven percent of adults named Halloween as their favorite holiday.
Sixty four percent by candy even if they don't expect
trick or treaters yeah, I live up on the hill.
We never get any. Seventy one percent of parents buy
extra candy for themselves. Fifty eight percent of adults believe
they can take candy when accompanying trick or treaters. Now
I don't do that. I mean, I don't go trick
or treating anymore. My children are grown. But you know
I was a trick or treat dad for a while.
All seventy six percent on full sized candy bars, Seventy
two percent prefer premium chocolate bars, Seventy two percent prefer
familiar flavors over novelty options. Twenty one percent of men
judge neighbors by candy quality versus fifteen percent of women
judging you by your candy quality. The San Jose Sharks
