Monday, Oct. 30 and Tuesday, Oct.31 from 7 to 10 p.m. This year’s event will see attendees coming face to face with Ghostface from the popular ‘Scream’ movie franchise inside a maze replica of set locations from the films, providing all the fun and scares that the series is known for. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the firehouse on corporate drive, with overflow parking available in the Kohl’s parking lot. A limited amount of ‘RIP’ fast pass tickets will be available to the public via the City of Palm Coast Facebook page during the week of October 23-27.

In Coming Days:
Notably: The source, Saudi Arabia-based Arab news, is, like the Jerusalem Post, a bit suspect, but the fact of the graphic, posted on the paper’s front page a few days ago, is not. One caveat: the UN resolution should have at least referenced the Oct. 7 massacre as a crime against humanity. It did not do so. That aside, the rest stands.

I felt an instant connection with my foster brothers: the fear I was feeling wasn’t mine alone, it was in all of us. If they could deal with it, so could I. Joining together had something to do with our own histories as well. I wondered: Why was Arnie in foster care? What was Harold’s story? How did Jesse and Paul end up here? Even though we’d just met, I didn’t feel we were strangers. It was different from meeting new kids in school. We were more like train-jumpers who suddenly found themselves in the same railroad car; we shared an identity by the mere fact of being in “foster care,” a new term that would come to mean more than I had ever thought.
