Although Christmas decorations are already taking over the stores, the big event on the calendar this weekend is Halloween, and there are lots of special events this weekend in the Sarasota - Bradenton - Venice area this weekend for all of the big and little goblins.

In the spirit of the weekend, I have a few jokes to share with everyone:
What type of music do mummies like? (Wrap Music)
Where do fashionable ghosts shop? (Boo-tiques)
What does a skeleton order in a restaurant? (Spare Ribs)
What kind of streets do zombies like best? (Dead Ends)
What do you call someone who poisons a person's corn flakes? (A Cereal Killer)
Who writes letters to Dracula? (His Fang Club)
What do you find on a haunted beach? (A Sand-witch)

Ok, ok, really bad, right? On to posting the events......
