There are dog days of summer, and now dog days of Halloween. The Icon took this photo a couple years ago of the Ada High School office pet dressed for the season. It's appropriate for today.

General guidance
Consider the people in your household who may be at greater risk of complications if COVID-19 is brought into the home, such as those with certain health conditions, women who are pregnant, or older family members.
For parents
• If taking your children trick-or-treating, limit the number of houses you visit and ask your children to stay as far from treat-givers as possible. For small children, consider holding the bag for them.

The Icon was working in the lab late last night and discovered a trove of Halloween photos many might like to forget. These are from the 2014 and 2015 Ada Kiwanis Halloween parade and judging.
We thought since there was no parade this year - why not revisit five and six years ago. And, by the way, my how youngsters have changed! - except for Don Traxler.
Other than Don, we've not named anyone. You can figure out who you are viewing for yourself.
