Join Us for Spooky Museum 2017 - We’re Going Batty Over Halloween

Cartersville, GA – The Bartow History Museum is being transformed into the Spooky Museum for the next Museum After Dark event, according to Trey Gaines, director of the museum.

On Saturday, Oct. 21, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., all fairies, pirates, monsters, princesses and others of their ilk are invited to join us.

A costume contest has been added to this year for all children 12 and under wishing to participate. The costumes should be kid-friendly and can be store purchased or homemade. A First, Second and Third place prize will be given for the judge’s favorite costumes. The contest begins at 5:30 p.m. Don’t have a costume? No problem- simply come as you are. Get your face painted, play games, create a craft, and partake of tasty treats, if you dare! Visit the exhibit gallery to see some eerie museum visitors, creepy crawlies, and spooky surprises.

“This is a night your kids won’t want to miss,” says Gaines.

On a beautiful early fall day, 22 teams of four golfers each took part in the Calhoun Rotary Golf Tournament, sponsored by Hamilton Medical Center. Laura Roberson, incoming Rotary president, welcomed the players and declared the tournament open. Eric Stewart, golf pro at Fields Ferry, went over the rules of the tournament and the fun was on.

Lots of behind the scenes work by Rotarians Jim Rosencrance, David Scoggins, Andrea Brumlow, Doug Todd and Dianne Kirby, along with Laurie Robinson, wife of Rotarian BJ Robinson, helped prepare for the day’s event.

The Calhoun Rotarians who played in the tourney were: Justin Childress; Will Ostuw; Russell Dudley; BJ Robinson and Kyle Johnson. A very special participant was Dr. William Thompson, Sr, the 94-year-old father of Rotarian William Thompson, Jr.

The winner of the tournament was the Hamilton Medical Center Team. Closest to the Pin honors were taken by S.M. Lee, from Dalton.

All prizes were awarded by Jim Rosencrance and David Scoggins.

Calhoun Rotary wants to thank Fields Ferry, each golfer and team and especially sponsor Hamilton Medical Center. Their participation helps Calhoun Rotary support and fund educational scholarships, high school Interact Clubs and a primary school club, Rotakids as well as offering financial contributions to the Boys & Girls Club, Mountain Boys Home, BSA Troop 39 and other significant community or agencies in need.
