Congrats to all the winners and nominees.

Halloween is coming and we are celebrating here in Oxford. We are one of the only towns in our area to have crowds of folks small and large trick and treat down our leafy streets. Our party starts at 5:30pm on October 31. Costumes are almost a requirement, so don your best and join us for some Halloween hot drinks and goodies sure to make you smile.

Happy Halloween,
Kathy
