Iola’s downtown will get an extra festive feel for Halloween, with decorations donated by friends of the late Steve and Cecelia Orcutt on display. Steve Orcutt died Oct. 19; Cecelia died in May.
Both were long-time art teachers for USD 257, and opened their home for trick-or-treaters every Halloween, often greeting the youngsters with elaborate decor.
The decorations will be replaced the weekend of Nov. 8, when Chelsea Lea will spearhead another Christmas light decoration effort.
Iola Preschool ended its school day Thursday with a Halloween parade. Iola’s K-5 students will take part in a Halloween parade at 2 p.m. Friday. Parents are invited to watch the parade in front of the school building.
