Wicked Manors was a successful who’s who of Greater Wilton Manors, because the costumes were so fabulous you couldn’t tell who’s who!
The party started at 6 p.m. By 7 p.m. there was about a five-minute line to get in. By 9 p.m. the line stretched a block down The Drive, but the brief wait was worth it. Once inside, scare seekers were greeted by the coolest costume collection in all South Florida.
You could spot Hank Causey and Lou Layton from anywhere on the drive. They were in sprawling, gold lamée outfits with wings that were liable to knock an eye out. Think "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" meets Wicked Manors.
“When we travel, we like to see the themes of the party,” the Fort Myers couple said.
The main stage was home of the four costume contests, starting with the kids’ contest at 6:30. From there, they got much more adult oriented.
Across the way, Alibi had a stage set up with gogo dancers who were feeling every beat.
On Hunters Nightclub’s side of the lot, they were packed to the gills. DJ Will Calder knows how to work a crowd and get them fired up, and fire them up he did.
“It was wonderful to see so many come out in support of The Pride Center and their local businesses,” Hunters’ Bruce Howe said the morning after. “It was a night to remember.”

However, the city of Wilton Manors is standing by Stonewall Pride.

Six-year-old Ghost (ID 695267) would love to go home with you.
Adopted from another shelter, Ghost only had a home for three months before the landlord said he had to go. Although it was a short time, Ghost’s owner left him a raving review. At 78 pounds, he is a big boy, so there is a lot of him to love. Ghost is very friendly, loves to play fetch and play outside. He is an affectionate cuddle bug, who enjoys bath time, being brushed and spending time with his family. His profile says he is good with dogs, cats, and kids, and knows some basic commands. Going for car rides is one of his favorite things and treats with peanut butter are welcomed. Thanks to Dolly’s Dream, they have kindly paid his adoption fee and he gets to go home with goodies to help him settle into his new home.

NEW MOON IN PISCES: practice empathy with caution; guard your emotions.
Someone who has either walked away from you in the past or been distant may soon seek your advice, forgiveness, or reconsideration. This could evoke your nurturing instincts, prompting you to open your heart and offer assistance in a challenging situation.
However, it's essential to stay grounded; verify their claims to ensure they aren’t merely manipulating your goodwill for their own agenda. Additionally, confiding in someone about this unexpected reappearance can help you maintain objectivity and support without jeopardizing the harmony of your own circumstances.
