Pumpkin Man Invades CCS

The weather cooperated this morning so freaks and princesses - and Pumpkin Man - turned out for this year's Charlotte Central School Halloween parade.  Here, thanks to Kerrie Pugh, are a few of the wonderful costumes. We think that's Interim Principal Sandra Jump as the Mad Hatter, below, but as always, Pumpkin Man's identity remains shrouded in secrecy.

You can see more in a slide show on the school's website.

Rockin' the street

Congrats to the CCS Stage Band, led by Tony Petriocola (below) for another fine year of entertaining the crowds on Church Street as part of the Jazz Fest.

And thanks to Edd Merritt for the pics!
