Fighting Over the Grinch Costume

What started out as a fun Halloween gathering for North Alabama big wigs turned into a free-for-all earlier today. Apparently not enough communication went into the preparations for this meeting of egos as two invitees fought over who would get to wear the Grinch costume.

Decatur Mayor Don Kyle and Helen Keller Hospital CEO Doug Arnold engaged in a discussion that amounted to more than words as they each laid claim to being the valley's biggest Grinch. For anyone who came in late, Mayor Kyle has recently demanded the Decatur Animal Shelter begin a mass euthanasia of animals in order to bring down its census, while Arnold has fought fang and claw to prevent Lauderdale County from building a new hospital.

So who is the biggest Grinch? We're calling it a tie.

Since it may storm tomorrow:

Regency Square Mall has been holding “Mall-O-Ween” for many years – the majority of stores, along with nonprofit organizations, businesses and the Mall Management have plenty of treats for kids ages 0-12!! We’ll also have a costume contest for ages 0-6 and 7-12 at 6pm. It’s a safe, fun alternative to being outside in inclement weather.
