Wildcat Tavern, a bar in Hamilton, transformed itself into Moe's Tavern from *The Simpsons* for Halloween this year. Owners Ian Leipurts and Jenna Firsht spent about a month preparing, altering around 75% of the interior decorations to resemble Moe's, including redesigning their menu and modifying their front sign. The transformation was inspired by the idea of giving the whole bar a "costume" as fans of *The Simpsons*. Leipurts described Wildcat Tavern as the local watering hole for many in Hamilton, akin to Moe's from the show. Barton Village BIA director expressed interest in potentially making this costume theme into a future competition for Halloween celebrations in Hamilton.
