Patch Minute: Newton's Haunts, Oktoberfest, Fish Broil
Looking to get spooked? How about taste testing at Oktoberfest? Or, stop by a tradition 82 years in the making for fresh fish cooked the same way since 1930! That's right, check out this week's Patch Minute!
I'm Cherlene Willis, and I'm going to take you behind the scenes at one of Gulfport's scariest haunted houses.
In Gulfport
We are inside the "Midway" on Newton Avenue in Gulfport here with Nolan Sloan. Nolan tell me about Newton's Haunts at the 5600 block of Newton Ave S.

In St Pete
If you're not quite ready for Halloween, we have the 3rd annual St. Pete Okotberfest this Friday and Saturday in the Grand Central District. The street festival will be at 2200 Central Avenue and will include beer tastings and live music. Tickets are $25 in advance, $35 at the gate. To buy tickets check out the event's website.
In Pass-A-Grille
In Pass-a-grille we have a family tradition that's been filling bellies for more than 80 years. The 82nd Annual Fish Broil and Mullet Festival is this Saturday.
What I think it really cool is that the fish has been cooked the same way since 1930.
The carnival begins at 3 p.m.
