IT WAS A BIT WINDY FOR BROOMSTICKS this year, so participants in the Fairfield Chamber’s annual Witch Ride climbed into the back of a Texas pickup truck instead.

Delivering sugar-free candy to residents of local nursing homes include (left-right): Kaley Copeland, Ashley DeVillier, Gail Farish, Brenda Pate, Lisa Schick, Gina Martin, and Cindy Bolen.

Afterward, the group enjoyed an evening of witch’s brew and karaoke.
