Ireland-Israel Match Faces Protests While Communities Prepare For Global Halloween Events
Anonymous
The Republic of Ireland’s Nations League match against Israel remains scheduled to take place in Hungary despite protests and public pressure, with controversy surrounding comments by Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson. Separately, Halloween events include UK holiday-park breaks, a Miami Children’s Museum celebration with trick-or-treating and a newly opened children’s haunted house, and a free scavenger hunt and pumpkin activities at Louisiana’s Old Governor’s Mansion. Oakfield’s Betterment Committee canceled its annual park party, citing a lack of written clarity on requirements, including insurance, too close to the event to plan responsibly. Thurston County’s 2026 calendar lists family events in Olympia, Tumwater, Yelm, Rochester and Lacey, while Oak Ridge is planning its 44th annual children’s Halloween party at A.K. Bissell Park on October 22, with trick-or-treating, a costume contest, a pumpkin patch and a hayride.

At the Louisiana Old Governor’s Mansion event, guests are encouraged to wear costumes for a trunk-or-treat, and the scavenger hunt’s puzzle pieces reveal images of artifacts from the museum’s collection.
