1st Annual Witches on the Water
Halloween can bring out the best, and in our creative community, the best was on display in neighborhoods, businesses and even on the water last night. While trick-or-treaters were going door to door in search of their favorite candy, a group of friends let their "fantasy side" show as "Witches on the Water" took their inaugural float on the Cruisin' Tiki around Monroe Bay at sunset.
Cathy Cavender, Charlotte Cole, Deb Newman, Joanie Millward, Angela Lawrence and Kelly Woods Vaughn got together for what they hope will be the first of an annual "Witches on the Water" or "WoW" event to encourage more costumed, playful activity in Colonial Beach. Already, CB pulls out the stops at Halloween -- there's a Halloween Drag Show, a Halloween house decorating contest (which was phenomenally successful), Movie Night at the Community Center and the CB Volunteer Fire Department's trunk or treat event, to name a few.
But our group of "frightening friends" figured we'd add to the costumed chaos by taking to the water, and we hope to build on that next year by encouraging a few pontoon owners to gather ghouls and goblins for a "Revenant Ride" on Monroe Bay.
Special thanks to Cruisin' Tiki captain Russ for his skillful navigating. See you next year!
