Abstract:
In the town of Brevard, located in Transylvania County, the whole community participates in the Halloween spirit. Orange and black colors decorate the downtown areas. Merchants put up elaborate window decorations. Cornstalks, pumpkins, and scarecrows appear all over the town, and citizens put ghostly displays in their yards. For the past quarter of a century, October has culminated in a community celebration called the Halloweenfest.
