Village Halloween
night coming up

TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
Main Street Middlesex evaluates
Lucan
Main Street Middlesex recently hosted a
countywide bus tour of Middlesex County.
Participants in the day's activities filled out a
"Friendly Feedback" survey as they departed
each downtown on the tour.
Some of the aspects of Lucan that were
noticed was the Community Centre,
Wilberforce Inn and the Lucan Water Tower.
The participants felt there was evidence of
community spirit and events.
The overall impression given was that Lucan
was a good place to live but limited in some
areas.
Halloween night planned
Lucan is coming together for an upcoming
Halloween night.
The evening planned is scheduled Oct. 31 at
the pavilion in Lucan.
A haunted house is a part of the activities
taking place.
This is the first time anyone is putting on an
event like this for Lucan.
Dow total exceeds $25,000
Over $25,000 was raised for the Dow Family
Trust. A silent auction, dance and dinner was
organized for the family of Adam Dow last
month.
The 23 -year-old Lucan man was fatally elec-
trocuted in August, leaving behind his wife
Kelly and identical twin boys Brandt and
Brody.

PET ADOPTION BULLETIN
Huron OSPCA (Ontario Humane Society)
Teeny is a 12 -week-old male kitten.
He is grey and white in colour and is
a sweet kitten. He was adopted
about a month ago, but his owner
had a bad fall and can no longer care
for him. Teeny gets along perfectly
with other cats and kittens and would
love to go to a home with cats.
Teeny is quite laid back and will
happily be a lap cat.
