Halloween they say it ' s losing its appeal L nce again Athens geared itself for the Court Street celebration which occurs annually on Halloween. The party, though technically illegal, was as well-advertised as ever and Athens hosted its Mardi Gras with the usual hospitality and flair. By Friday afternoon the town had braced it- self for the arrival of visiting partiers. Merchants stocked up on beer, ice and grease paints while vendors lined up the pumpkins and wigs. The Salvation Army did great business in the old coat and shoe department. The important thing was looking the ugliest, strangest or simply the most amusing. Putting on make-up and costumes can be one of the best parts of Halloween. It can be time-consuming, messy and uncomfortable, but always fun. The weather Saturday afternoon was ideal. After a week of rain and chill, the Southeastern Ohio sun finally came out over Athens. Bars were packed for happy hour; dinner lines were . . . well, lengthy. Many house and apartment dwellers spon- sored pre-uptown parties. I-tal at Tool ' s Tavern and the Erector Set at the Frontier Room drew large crowds. But the main action was, of course, on Court Street. The evening weather got a little cooler, but the skies stayed clear. The crowd began to exceed sidewalk capacity at around 9 p.m. Court Street was closed off at 9:30 and so the revelry began. com. on p 30 The turmoil of Grenada as seen in a more tiumorous way. 5 Uptown partiers merged onto Court Street at around 9:30 p.m. displaying their costumes and creations.
