Skeletour Extravaganza

Welcome to our Annual Skeletour Extravaganza! Businesses within the community (and beyond) have a blast getting creative with their displays and competing for scary good prizes! Check out our previous year’s competitors…

2025 Skeletour Extravaganza Winners

The Anderson County Farmers Market skeletal spin on American Gothic took 1st Place in this year’s competition!! The pitchfork was real. The corn was decorative. The vibes were immaculate.
Four Roses reimagined one of their classic vintage ads and elegantly walked away with 2nd Place for the third year in a row! Proof that style (and good bourbon) never dies!
Granny Betty, the most lively (and slightly wheezy) employee at Lawrenceburg Medical Supply secured 3rd Place this year all while sporting her rollers, oxygen and crocs.

2025 Skeletour Extravaganza Contestants

Thrifty Nikki helping customers get their fall wardrobe together at Chaos Creek Thrift and Resale! Cause when Thrifty Nikki’s on your side, fashion isn’t just fabulous, it’s eternal.
American Bony Gothic at the Farmers Market featured two eerily elegant skeletons; one in overalls, the other in a makeshift 1930’s dress, standing in front of a farmhouse with a suspiciously crooked window.
Bobby Bonesby at Biggby Coffee loved two things: steaming lattes and clocking out on time. The only thing he’s brewed more consistently than coffee is existential dread.
Dona Maravilla Calavera at Colombian Corner was known for her sharp tongue. Every October she appears at her old haunt to keep an eye on the seasoning and judge the bandeja paisa.
Marrowlyn Bones at Lawrenceburg Urgent Care was once bright-eyed. Today, she’s held together by caffeine, sarcasm, and the adhesive power of medical tape. She’ll take your vitals…and maybe your soul if this shift keeps going.
Benny the Bellhop in his moth-eaten, crooked cap was tasked with welcoming guests of the supernatural variety to the Best Western. He may be in the drivers seat but he’s just “along for the ride” in the Taxi that drives itself on Halloween.
Anita Loaf was once a head chef. Today she still whisks and whips like she’s feeding the living over at Ashley B’s. She entered this year’s competition with a pie in one hand and a burnt baguette she claimed was just “perfectly toasted.”
Recky Bones has a new accident every week…a haunted skateboard, a slippery ectoplasm puddle, or a poltergeist related workplace injury at Ashley Bailey’s Shelter Insurance Firm. He didn’t come to win, he came to claim!
Bargain Hunter Betty Bones hung out at LoveBig for years. She stands proudly in the front of the store dressed in her finest thrifted ensemble. Locals have claimed to hear her clacking through the racks whispering, “These prices are to die for!”
Skelce Swift strutted into Brush Kids Dentistry like it was the Eras Tour’s final encore. Skelce may not have a heartbeat, but love is undeadly real, and she has the Super-Bowl worthy bling to prove it.
Four Roses brought bones to life with a hauntingly nostalgic twist. They reimagined a classic ad complete with skellie lounging in style, draped in a signature yellow robe, reclined and relaxed, sipping a smooth glass of bourbon.
Captain Hashbeard showed up at Huddle House in full pirate regalia, dripping with seaweed, and smelling faintly of syrup. He had one goal…win the costume contest or at least a free All-Star Breakfast.
Elias “Stitch” Thorne at Young & Thread was a dapper tailor with an eye for detail (metaphorically), and a knack for vintage cuts. Locals love his dry humor and uncanny fashion advice.
Chef Le Tour at Lawrenceburg-Anderson County Tourism was known for his bold flavors, dramatic flair, and undying love for local ingredients. He’s now the bony ambassador of the town’s vibrant food scene encouraging everyone to “Eat Local!”
Carl Fredricksen finally kicked the bucket…but he refused to leave the housing market. These days you can find him at the Autumn Boblitt, Realtor office, micromanaging and silently judging buyers over open floor plans and “modern farmhouse” decor.
Dolly Cartin rolled into the Health Department on a pink wagon. Dolly’s the star of their breast cancer awareness campaign, dolled up in a sparkly dress, cowboy hat and bedazzled shoes. Her motto? “Get em checked, y’all!”
Skellie Gilmore was a fiery golfer known for his wild shot and even wilder temper. These days you can find him at Simply Golf…forever gripping his driver and urging players to swing with all their might. He’s not done giving tips, or causing chaos.
Larry was just looking for a personal loan at Commonwealth Credit Union. He had no idea that the real predatory lending was coming from above. He got taken out by Harold, the resident spidey. Needless to say, Larry won’t be needing that loan after all and now permanently resides as just another piece of the credit union’s “saving account.”
With Oz becoming far too corporate (Glinda’s glam-themed “Bubble Influencer” line had hit peak saturation), Elphaba needed a fresh start. She traded in her broomstick for a part time gig at Taylor Belle’s.
Bob at Clearview Collision is the only employee who doesn’t need a coffee break…he’s just naturally awake. Bob was hired as the “spare” mechanic after the shop’s last intern mysteriously disappeared. Rumor had it, he was all skull and no sense.
After retiring from her years as a yoga instructor, Granny Betty now spends her days lounging in hair rollers, and giving advice on both oxygen tanks, crocs, and the best arthritis creams at Lawrenceburg Medical Supply.
Agatha Creepstie spends her time organizing books and providing recommendations to anyone brave enough to ask at the Public Library. Donned in cobwebs and paper bats, she urges visitors to not make any loud noises for fear of disturbing the dead silence.
Delilah “Deadly” Rosesmont caused an uproar wherever she went…trading pearls and petticoats for poker nights and speakeasies. She refuses to rest quietly. Clad in floral prints and red lips, Delilah now spends her time spreading chaos to the visitors of Broadway Barrels.
Back in his day, Old Joe played a mean banjo and never missed a Friday night hoedown. He’s crawled out of the ground to join the Bluegrass Bourbon Ladies for another round, and maybe a little two-step.
Reuben and Rachel sit at their favorite table at H2B, neither eating nor paying, critiquing sandwiches like ghostly Gordon Ramseys. A “Sandwich Hall of Fame” plaque behind them features photos of their glory days.
Locals claim if your sandwich is truly balanced, you’ll feel a cold tap on your shoulder and hear a whisper: “Needs more sauerkraut.”
Deputy Nicholas Rib-Cage has been learning the ropes (and ribs) from our incredible ACHS SRO team, proving that safety doesn’t have to be scary! He teamed up with the real pros at ACHS (and looked pretty sharp doing it). No bones about it…Deputy Rib-Cage is in good company.
