Loose Leaf Notes

~ The following photos are from a selection that appeared in the November 6th issue of The Floyd Press. 

The Pine Tavern Pavilion and grounds were decked out Saturday night with spooks and cobwebs for the Annual Halloween Party and Masquerade Ball with The KIND.

Costumed attendees filled the dance floor during the band’s two set performance.

KIND band member Rick Godley stepped out in full rainbow costume before taking his seat behind the drums.

A couple from Ferrum depicted a Floyd dominatrix and slave scene, with the slave representing EQT, the company proposing the Mountain Valley Pipeline that was to come from Floyd that recently changed its route (more HERE.)  Pictured on the left is Floyd Countian Leah Rainey, one of the volunteers who manned a Citizens Preserving Floyd County (CPFC) information table at the event.

KIND guitarist/vocalist Wendy Godley showed off her original costume before the band’s performance of mostly Grateful Dead covers.

Puppeteer Wesley Wenger (right), his son and Mara Robbins (of CPFC) took to the stage for an impromptu theater piece revolving around a Fox news report and the proposed Mountain Valley Pipeline.

It was the first time attending for this group from Pulaski, who heard about the party from someone who works at the Pine.  Everyone in the group agreed that they were having a great time.

Christy Starchild’s elaborate Day of the Dead face paint was done by a friend. She’s pictured with her rodeo clown husband, Joringel (KIND percussionist).

These two costumed characters never revealed their identities.

Boo? More like Booyah!
