Halloween and Harvest in the Route 66 Mural City
Cuba, Missouri: We are a supporter of the Shop Local idea, and we also like it when our Cuba businesses take the initiative to stand out and create a welcoming appearance. Whether it was Halloween or Harvest decor, these business locations caught our eye this week.

Mobil On the Run Station
Huddle House

Huddle House had the traditional straw, flowers, and scarecrows. However, the restaurant also had hand-painted scenes on the windows. We were told that a 3rd shift cook and his girlfriend put in the time to create the spooky scenes. Huddle House also had numerous decorations on the inside.
Plants-R-Us

Palnts-R-Us on Highway DD probably wins the prize (if there was one) for the most seasonal decorations. Of course, they may have an advantage since at this time of year their inventory is bursting with pumpkins, straw, and mums.
Pumpkins and mums seem to brighten up the landscape in front of businesses. Viva Cuba added a circle of yellow mums to the Viva Cuba Garden to make the corner a little more welcoming for the fall. If we have missed your business’s holiday decorations, send us a good photo, and we will post it.
