A somewhat overcast sky hides the last Halloween full moon for the next nineteen years or so, but we've now started to post the winners in our fourth annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest. We'll be continuing to post them throughout the night, category by category. As in years past, while the Adult, Middle School, and Elementary categories were competitive (with nearly two hundred entries overall, fewer than half what we received last year but still a respectable number) the High School category only received one entry.

More answers to the "Questions to the Candidates" have arrived and have been posted; a couple from candidates for School Committee, and a few from candidates for Town Meeting. Also, the deadline for this year's annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest has already passed, so any more entries that get received will have to wait until next year's contest.

Also remember that if you're planning on leaving off a copy of your story in the Saugus Town Hall, it closes well before midnight, so last minute entries will have to come in either via e-mail or FAX.
