Skeletons, ghosts, spooky animatronics and a haunted maze in the backyard all made the Leichter home the Best in Show for Lenexa’s Fall-O-Ween Yard Tour competition this month. Lenexa put on the event as a way to bring the community together in a safe, physically distanced way this fall, due to the health risks of gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic. About 60 homes and businesses participated in the competition, using a variety of fall-themed and Halloween-themed decorations. A big fan of Halloween, Susan Leichter said she was “absolutely thrilled” that she and her husband, James Leichter, won the competition — even as she battles breast cancer.
