The party: A 90th birthday party for Dr. Dick Clay given by Barbara and Bud Beeler and Marty and Cliff Conkle in the Beeler home.
The theme: Halloween with “vampire bites” and unearthly delights” as well as “hexing grog.” The “witching hour” was 6:30 until 8:30 p.m.
Sweet treats: Chocolate eyeballs for party favors and lots of Halloween candy in every room. Flowers were everywhere too. Roses, tulips, orchids, artichokes and berries were arranged on the buffet table.
The birthday factor: The honoree received lots of cards and a memory book from his children and grandchildren.
