SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12th: Weather:The rain eases up by mid-morning but it's a cold, dreary day and the leaves are falling off the trees faster than one might have hoped; 39°/19°
EVENTS
→ With the rain finally stopped, damage from flooding throughout town can finally be accessed. A police road block is set up in front of Sweetbriar Bridge due to the dangerous, excessive flooding of the creek below in an effort to keep residents away.
→ A few Missing posters are taped various buildings around town for Thomas Hall, a man who supposedly went missing the night of the full moon. The PPPD have been unable to find any evidence of foul play, but his family insists Hall wouldn't have left town without alerting them of his plans.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13th: Weather: Sunny;41°/28°
EVENTS
→ Posters for the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance at Chamberlain High go up today! The informal dance, in which the female students invite a boy (or girl) of their choice, will be held Saturday night in the high school gym. Tickets are only $10 a couple.
→ A ghostly figure of a young woman in old fashioned clothing is seen walking through the cemetery at night, though the apparition could have just been a trick of the light, or the result of too much to drink, or maybe something they ate. In any case, whoever happens to see her is left feeling a bit overheated and sweaty, like they've been standing far too close to an intense fire.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14th: Weather: Partly sunny with a bit of a bite in the air; 40°/33°
EVENTS
→ Two deer carcasses are found on the side of the road near Blackwater Woods as you drive into Point Pleasant. The animals are mutilated with most of the meat missing. There are several more scattered on the ground leading up and into the woods, and it's not a pretty sight. Obviously it's likely a black bear roaming around, yes? But those who have lived in Point Pleasant long enough know that this seems to be a yearly occurrence when the weather begins to turn colder. Overly violent animals deaths are generally a sign that hiking through Blackwater Woods is most definitely finished for the year if you don't want to become another 'missing person' statistic in town. Someone even takes a black Sharpie marker to the No Hiking After Dark signs posted at the beginning of the trails to color over After Dark leaving the sign to simply say No Hiking. It's worth a try, right?
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15th: Weather: Another chilly day, but the sun is shining without a cloud in the sky; 38°/29°
EVENTS
→ It's a lovely day in Point Pleasant. There's just something about it... the sun is shining, the gorgeous autumn leaves are falling and there is a crisp, comforting feeling of autumn in the air. A lot of people are happy. Most people, actually, which is a bit strange. Or maybe it isn't. What is strange is that throughout the day, people start to take their good moods to the extreme and indulge in some impulsive, selfish behavior. It could be anything. Buying a round of drinks for everyone at the bar, donating a chunk of their savings to charity, declaring their love for that person who doesn't even know they exist, anonymous sex, shoplifting, burglary, murder! Who knows! The world is their oyster and they can do whatever the hell they want!
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16th: Weather: Windy and the breeze coming off the water near the marina is biting, but that sunshine from the day before has slipped away, leaving it a cloudy, gray day; 47°/30°
EVENTS
→ A quiet day in Point Pleasant. Yay.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17th: Weather: Partly cloudy; 44°/28°
EVENTS
→ It's not even Thanksgiving yet! It doesn't matter. The 15th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at the Marina is tonight with festivities starting at 5:30pm and the lighting commencing at 7:30pm. There will be professional musicians and carolers, along with free hot cocoa and kettle corn with several booths of holiday crafts. Come celebrate Point Pleasant's holiday kick off!
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18th: Weather: The sun is shining today, but as usual, with a chilly breeze; 45°/24°
EVENTS
→ Today is the annual Early Bird Pajama Sale! For early rises, there are incredible deals and sales at every retail shop along Main Street and the surrounding area until 10:00am, and those who shop in their pajamas will get even better discounts.
→ The Sadie Hawkins Dance is held tonight in the gym of Chamberlain High School from 6pm to 9pm. The gym is decorated with balloons and streamers in the school colors, with a "refreshment table" complete with a large bowl of punch, bottles of water and various cookies and brownies. Not as fancy as a formal dance, but it'll do.
Around 7:00pm, the punch bowl is 'spiked' with an unknown substance. Anyone who drinks from the punch bowl after 7:00pm will begin to experience bouts of euphoria and adoration towards the world and those around them. The feelings last for quite some time, but there's also a downside to the good feelings. There's also honesty. Unbridled, brutal honesty. Those affected by the spiked punch bowl find they cannot tell a lie... in fact, it seems like a great idea to just say whatever they're thinking, to whoever is around. But they say it all with love of course, because they're feeling so good. Bless their hearts.
Oh! And any teenage couple who comes by Moxie's after the dance will get a free milkshake.
→ The Orion will be playing the classic Ghostbusters tonight at 7pm and 10pm.
