00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.120
Hello. I'm Johnny Mack, host of Five Good News Stories

3
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:21.000
and of course the spinoff series Five Good News Christmas Stories.

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.879
And I thought it's over, let me see if I

5
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.440
could do five Good News Halloween Stories. And I can

6
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.719
tell you right now, because you're listening to this. I

7
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.920
found at least five coming up on October thirty. First,

8
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
it's the Till Death Do Us Part annual Halloween Wedding Ceremony. Yeah,

9
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.479
you're gonna want to drop by the Osceola Clerk of

10
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:44.679
the Circuit Court and County Controller. Look for Kilvin Soto Esquire.

11
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.320
He's going to be doing this on Halloween at ten am.

12
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.960
What is it. It's the annual Halloween Group wedding Ceremony

13
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.719
and Receptions. Couples can reserve their place for this one

14
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:57.039
of a kind event where the courthouse is adorned with cobwebs, pumpkins,

15
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.240
and Gothic floral arrangements of black and purple roses. That

16
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.760
sounds amazing, We're told the setting combines romance and spooky charm,

17
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.879
creating the perfect backdrop for a wedding day. They're doing

18
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.640
the ceremony in English and Spanish. Following your vals. Newlyweds

19
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.840
and guests can enjoy a reception filled with Halloween themed treats,

20
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:20.719
from horrifyingly delicious cupcakes to festive music. If you're curious,

21
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:25.799
Osciolaclerk dot com, Osceeola clerk dot com over on the

22
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.280
Food Network, they're already doing the Halloweens. So if you're

23
00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.959
looking at me going Halloween already, yeah, well we've already

24
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.319
been doing Halloween Wars. Each team consists of a pumpkin carver,

25
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:38.120
a cake artist, and a sugar artist. They're competing for

26
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:42.120
a twenty five thousand dollars grand prize. All eyes are

27
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.079
on this guy, Willie Tows. He's from Team Grade Vard Shift.

28
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.959
He has competed in the past during Outrageous Pumpkins at

29
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.159
twenty twenty four and you can find him in Grand Junction, Colorado,

30
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.840
where I was for like thirty minutes one time. You

31
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.920
can find him at Colorado Fruit Designs, the Community Access

32
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.920
Project for Eureka YUAH, has kicked off their annual Halloween

33
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.920
costume drive for local infants, children and youth in need.

34
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.479
They partner with local shelters and family resource centers to

35
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.080
match babies and kids up to age seventeen with new

36
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.560
donated costumes for the season. Last year, fifty two costumes

37
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.840
plus some accessories were donated. They were able to match

38
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:20.879
one hundred and twenty eight kids with costumes using the donations.

39
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.080
Sierra Wood supervises the whole thing and says, once we

40
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.199
find a costume to match the child with their parent,

41
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.639
guardian or caseworker can pick up the costume from the

42
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.599
Uplift Eureka Community Resource Center the week before Halloween. The

43
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.560
center says they tend to get a lot of last

44
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.479
minute referrals a week or so before, so if you

45
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:38.960
can help them out, that'd be a neat thing to

46
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.759
do spirit Halloween. There's probably a store near you. I mean,

47
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.879
they're all over and they are kind of fun right.

48
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.599
They have released the twenty twenty five costume trends that

49
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.599
are about to take over your social media feed. They

50
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:53.560
say you're going to see a lot of K pop,

51
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.680
demon hunters, a lot of wicked stuff. Marvel is still

52
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.719
super popular because of the Fantastic Four. They tell us

53
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.560
they have bold new takes on Mister Fantastic End the

54
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.759
Invisible Woman. There are over thirty new Spider Man costumes,

55
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.560
thirty Wow. Yeah, you don't have to be Peter Parker.

56
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:14.879
You could be Miles Morales or Spider Girl. And you've

57
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:18.719
probably heard of Gallantine's Day. Now they're pushing Gallo Wien. Yes,

58
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.240
it is Galloween, the hottest girls night of the season.

59
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.240
It's all about sparkle sas and playful pink vibes. Spirit

60
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.680
wants you to check out their pink o Ween collection.

61
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.080
Also trending squid game costumes. Sure, why not? You can

62
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.280
terrify the neighborhood as art of the clown that has

63
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.240
nothing to do with squid Game. I changed topics there.

64
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.520
They also tell us we're going to see some Fortnite,

65
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.240
some Star Wars, and some Jurassic Park. But I have

66
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:45.360
more about costumes after this. So the previous story got

67
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.599
me thinking about the knockoff costumes, and I found this

68
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.080
article from last year with some knockoff costumes, and you

69
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.639
can look for these in your local store. For example

70
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:58.199
Blue Speed Mouse, who's definitely not a fast running hedgehog

71
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.039
that runs at sonic speeds to Blue Speed Mouse. You

72
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.960
can also check out Juice Demon, but you don't want

73
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.400
to say Juice Demon three times fast, or he'll show

74
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:09.159
up and you'll find yourself in the afterlife, you know

75
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.199
what I mean. Juice demon, Juice demon, Juice demon. You

76
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.919
follow me? Guy with crazy hair in a pinstripe suit.

77
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.160
That guy. Yeah, this isn't that at all. This is

78
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:19.199
juice Demon. I love this one. It is a girl

79
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.319
in a black dress and black hair with pigtails. She's

80
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.519
Evil Midweek cutie, you know, not Tuesday, not Thursday, the

81
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:27.199
other day in the middle of the week. That's what

82
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.759
this one is. Totally not. This is Evil Midweek cuty

83
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:34.639
legally distinct. Web slinger Boy, Yes, you know, say you

84
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.560
like to sling webs and you were wearing a red

85
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.040
and blue costume that had like big white spots around

86
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.519
your eyes, and you know, you're just web slinger boy.

87
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:45.800
Nothing to do with anything in a Marvel movie or anything.

88
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.920
This is web slinger Boy. But the packaging does make

89
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.800
it clear it's a superhero, and it sure is. And

90
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:56.639
those are five good news Halloween stories. How do you

91
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:58.560
like this for a pilot episode? I'll see how often

92
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.160
I can do this in October the normal feed. There

93
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.519
are five good news stories. And it's only October, so

94
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.040
once a week, five good news Christmas stories. You can

95
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:10.120
also find five Good News Christmas Stories in its own feed,

96
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.959
where I'm rerunning some stories from the twenty twenty four

97
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.480
and also adding the new ones. You have an awesome day.
