Jackson Business Resource Fair.  MLK Corridor Improvement Authority is working hard to make Southside Jackson a hub for business development and entrepreneurship as part of our revitalization project. To meet this goal, we are hosting a second Business Resource Fair to provide valuable networking opportunities, connections, and more to current and future business owners.  Join us at the MLK Center on 10/30 from 3pm to 5:30pm to learn more about the community support available to Jackson entrepreneurs and business owners, or to share your own insights as a local service provider. Learn more or register in advance here. We hope to see you at this important community event!  Martin Luther King, Jr. Center, 1107 Adrian Street, Jackson.

Cascades Humane Society Trunk or Treat.  1515 Carmen Dr, Jackson.  We can’t wait! Join us on Monday, October 30th from 6-8 p.m. for a trunk or treat at Cascades Humane Society. This is going to be a pawsome event! Candy, kids’ activities, cider and donuts, an elephant ear truck, a pet costume contest, a trunk decorating contest, adoptable pets, and more! Four-legged friends are welcome to join. Bring them in their best costumes! Pets must be leashed at all times. If your pet is not friendly with others, please keep them at home for this event. PARKING: Parking will be available in the lot across from CHS. Parking attendants will help you park your vehicle. Donations for parking are welcomed but not required. All proceeds benefit Cascades Humane Society. We could have never imagined the amount of support we received for our first Trunk or Treat event last year. This year we are ready for you with ample parking space!

Jackson College Film Series presents “Scream”.  7:15 PM. Wes Craven re-invented and revitalised the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts – but the victims aren’t always the ones you’d expect. Doors open at 7:00 P.M. Film at 7:15 P.M.  Admission 5 Dollars.  Michigan Theatre, Downtown Jackson.

Spooktacular Trunk or Treat.  Crowe’s Nest Cafe, Napoleon. On MONDAY, October 30th, starting at 4pm, we’re offering a limited menu dinner, with a little parade of costumes for our Trunk-or-Treaters. Beginning at 5pm, we’ll have our 2nd Annual Trunk or Treat until just before 7pm (or when the sun sets). At 7pm, we’ll have a spooky retelling of the Headless Horseman, and some other spooktacular stories. Is your Jack O’ Lantern scary or funny this year? Well, if you can get your mom or dad (or even for the bigger kids) to bring one in to be voted on by everyone, the winner will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to the Crowes’ Nest Cafe. Let’s see your Pumpkins, gang! Would you like to offer up your trunk or drop off gift bags or candy for passing out? We’d be more than happy to make all of our area kiddos happy! Drop us a line CrowesNestCafe@gmail.com.  Time: 4pm to 8pm.  Where: Crowes’ Nest Cafe 6780 Brooklyn Rd Ste 700.

Monster Box Theatre presents Night of the Laughing Dead.  7 PM to 9:30 PM.  Get ready to “howl” with laughter on the spookiest night of the year! Join us as Monster Box Theatre Presents “Night of the Laughing Dead” on October 30th, where improv comedy takes a wickedly funny twist. Don’t miss out!  Ironbark Brewing Company, 2610 Kibby Road, Jackson.
