Halloween News: Hamann Turns Into Reaper for Good Cause

Greg Hamann as the Grim Reaper.

Ah, the lengths some people go to get attention – a-hum, I mean, to help our local communities!

President Greg Hamann, made up as the Grim Reaper, hit the streets in Lebanon on Saturday to participate in the Runaway Pumpkin Half Marathon, a fundraiser benefiting ABC House, a center serving abused children in Linn and Benton counties.

LBCC's Theater Director Dan Stone did Greg's makeup and costume, taking about one hour to transform him into the reaper.

Dan and his theater students also partnered with Albany Parks and Recreation to turn approximately 100 people into zombies for the 5K Zombie Chase held Oct. 20, also a fundraiser that benefited Maple Lawn Preschool in Albany.
