When it comes to Halloween, Justin Moore takes a stroll down a more personal path—in the tiniest of towns, no less! The country star hails from Poyen, Arkansas, where the population barely scratches 269. Instead of running from house to house collecting candy like most kiddos, the Moore family takes a road trip, stopping by the homes of loved ones including aunts, uncles, and yes, even their pastor. In a way, it’s like the world’s coziest version of trick-or-treating!
Moore shares that they often embrace local community traditions, such as a cherished church hayride. Honestly, who needs Halloween parties with strangers when you can roll with family? And speaking of community, Justin received a gigantic 10-foot road sign proclaiming “Welcome to Poyen, Home of Justin Moore.” Just imagine that moment—it’s as if he went from country star to hometown hero overnight!
Living in Arkansas fills Moore with happiness as he expresses how vital it is to his success in music. He even joked about needing that hometown charm to keep the creativity flowing. Who would’ve thought that pumpkins and pastures could inspire chart-topping hits? So, what about you? How does your local community shape your traditions?
As the Halloween season creeps closer, it’s refreshing to see someone like Justin Moore reminding us of the importance of family and home. With heartwarming traditions, tiny towns, and big signs, this is a Halloween story to remember!
