Halloween Things And The Blood Moon :: Retail Therapy Guide 10/27/2023

Lots of fun Halloween events! Parades, monster jams, trunk or treating, costumes, and more! See below and forward this email to a friend who needs to see what's happening! In real life horror, Gaza just had the Internet shut out on them for today's bombardment of so many Palestinian children and families, so images of gruesome deaths that would normally only be in a scary Halloween movie are not able to come out of Gaza today. See that first announcement here. According to NBC, "A near-total internet blackout has taken hold across much of Gaza, according to witnesses there and companies that monitor global connectivity. The largest telecommunications provider in Gaza that was still largely operational, Paltel, said Friday that it had suffered a complete destruction of all services after heavy Israeli bombing earlier in the day destroyed its last remaining infrastructure connecting it to the global internet." Locally, a rally is scheduled in Kingston, NY in Academy Green Park, 238 Clinton Avenue today at 5pm. There will be food, a flea market, and open mic.                                      THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Book an Event Promotion Advertising spot here.
