Members of the Buffalo Bubbly Red Hat witches donned their Halloween outfits. They started the progressive lunch at 11 a.m. at Expresso No. 825 with fancy drinks, traveling to the Catfish House for various appetizers. A short flight across the parking lot landed them with a slice of pizza from Hip Pocket Pizza, where this photo was conjured. After a few scares at local retailers, the witches refueled at Los Hermanos Mexican Restaurant with their favorite Mexican Day of the Dead treats. The next hop was to MexAFino, where they had more appetizers and good conversation. The final stop was at GEM’s Restaurant to feast on pies made by Sue Percival. The group then dispersed to their broomsticks to travel to Queen Mother’s house to enjoy the movie Hocus Locus and pumpkin guts goulash and play scary games. The group met a white hat witch who joined the group at the first stop, Layla Henderson.
