Halloween

Spookfest, Oct. 31

Spindletop-Gladys City Boomtown Museum, on the Lamar University campus, will host the first-ever Spindletop Spookfest on Halloween evening, October 31, 2013, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. with trick or treating through the boomtown buildings and fun activities for “ghouls” and “goblins” of all ages.

While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us “that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas,” we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We’re of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
