Write a commentThe third annual citywide Joseph Labeef Memorial Halloween decorating contest is back with entries due by Oct. 26, it was announced by Caroline Shue, chair, Special Events Committee (SEC), of Fulton.
"This event is named in memory of Joseph Labeef, who placed third in the 2021 contest,” Shue said. ”Joseph was devoted to the Fulton community, gave a helping hand to many, and he loved Halloween. If you stopped at his home trick-or-treating, you were sure to get a full-sized candy bar. He passed away in January 2022 after courageously battling an illness, so we wanted to name the event to honor his commitment to our community."

Voting will take place on the Special Events Committee Facebook page from Oct. 27-29. The winners and prizes will be announced on Oct. 30.
