For many people, Halloween means dressing up for a party with spooky decorations. However, the day’s activities could hold a different excitement if you’re a comic book fan. This Halloween, BC Comix in Fenton is preparing for a ghoulishly good, all-day comic book extravaganza!
The Halloween fun starts a day early at the 15th Annual Mott Community College (MCC)Public Safety Halloween Party Friday, Oct. 30, from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Ballenger Field House on the Flint campus.

Jeepers creepers! After Dark is when the monsters come out! From 8pm to midnight on October 15, ghosts and goblins gathered at The Whiting to participate in all sorts of frightening fun.

They were also able to Monster-Mash-it-up with a costume contest to win tickets to see Blue Man Group and Dracula. Ghoulish guests enjoyed witch’s brew drink specials during Happy Hour, as well as free food provided by Freakin’ Unbelievable Burgers. Did you attend this spook-tacular event?
When walking in to Costume Rentals by Judy, you’ll see row after row of costumes of every imaginable kind. Judy Denker, who has owned the Fenton business for 15 years, says she has more than 3,000 costumes to choose from. “I always loved dressing up for my kids,” laughs Judy, “and I decided that if I had to work, it was going to be doing something fun!” The most often-rented costumes are Gatsby-style dresses, gangster, and pirate costumes. But the variety is endless. Judy has a costume for any occasion in your life – theme parties, birthday celebrations, weddings, a Renaissance fair, every holiday and more.

Since 1981, the sport of paintball has been exploding in the United States. Its fast-paced, exhilarating nature has caught the attention of many Flint locals, some of which have created teams that compete all over the country. CRU Paintball has brought this fun, unique sport to the area, and also provides a venue for many for local and semi-local players. Driving by its location on Clio Road, one would think it resembles a Kmart store – which it once was! Repurposing the old building has given the owners the space to create lasting teams, practices and competitions. The 60,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor facility is used for both competitive and recreational events.
