  • Diners at the weekly Childress Senior Citizens Center were given a preview of who to expect at the annual trick-or-treat Halloween celebration in Childress. No tricks here though, only a treat as Rylee Longbine, five-yearold daughter of Jacob Longbine, a frequent visitor at the center, came incognito for a visit. Rylee appeared as Ariel, The Little Mermaid, wearing a costume with a sequin-covered, dark-blue midsection accented with pink and lighter blues.
