2018 Calendar of Events
By Catharine Hadley, Arts and Entertainment Editor, catharinehadley@gmail.com
The theme of this column is "trying new things." I'm happy to be starting this new project of writing the entertainment column for Leisure Living Magazine! I've done all I could to make the entertainment listing complete and varied, so there should be something for everyone. Although I've done my best to make sure all the information is accurate, please go online or call ahead to confirm your plans.
Any suggestions and details of your upcoming events can be sent to me at catharinehadley@gmail.com.

Halloween Comes Early In Sandusky
Witches will gather in downtown Sandusky for fun, contests, door prizes, and a parade!
The Witches’ Walk is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 24, with check-in at the Sandusky State Theatre for maps and wristbands. Last year more than 300 witches gathered for the event, and they were welcomed by downtown businesses.
The event is sponsored by Donna Bretz, Michelle Herold, and Divine Awakenings. Tickets are $13 in advance or $18 at the door, and proceeds will go to Back to the Wild.
I want to see what all the fashionable witches are wearing this year. The event includes several contests, so I’m sure the hats, brooms, and costumes will be magical!
