Ghost Walk will haunt T'ville Oct. 27
This is the fourth year for the event that draws hundreds from around the area. Hayrides will roll through town as storytellers entertain the riders between stops. There will be four stops where more storytellers will relate tales from Thomasville's past. The event was inspired by Kathryn Tucker Windham's Alabama ghost stories. Among this year's storytellers in historical costume will be Karen Dean, Greg Clardy, Charlie Anderson and special guest storyteller, Kirk Brooker from Demopolis. Angie Newsom, the event's organizer, is also promising a story that will connect Thomasville to the infamous headless horseman. The horseman made an appearance at last year's Ghost Walk and it is anticipated he will make a return this year. Windham will not be attending this year's Ghost Walk due to a scheduling conflict. Family tickets are $15 each and individual tickets are $5 each. T-shirts will also be available for $10 for short sleeved and $12 for long sleeved shirts. Musical entertainment will be provided through the evening on the Wilson Avenue stage. A costume contest for the little kids will be held for children up to age 12 in Clay Park. Newsom said about 500 people went on the rides last year. "We try to make it a family event and try to find a happy medium so that it's entertaining and but it doesn't give the little kids nightmares," she said. People's Corner restaurant will be open and McLean Photography will be open for the event offering portrait specials for attendees.
The Southwest Alabama Chamber of Commerce is again sponsoring a scarecrow decorating competition. Thomasville businesses are invited to decorate the exterior of their locations with scarecrows and fall scenes. Judging is expected to be held the night of Ghost Walk. Winners will be announced in The Thomasville Times.
