If you have not been rollerskating at 
Skate-o-rama in Nacogdoches for awhile, I would recommend visiting them again now. The renovations by the new owners are completed and the whole place has been completely remodeled and is absolutely fabulous!
Highlights – new carpet (bright and colorful), new ticket booth, new snack bar area (a lot more seating now), new wall around the skate floor, new decorations on the walls, new locker area, everything is just new, New, NEW!
Give roller skating a try for a refreshingly different type of night on the town. It’s cheaper than a movie or a bar, and healthier for you, too. Enjoy!
Skate-o-rama is also available for private parties and other events by arranging in advance.
SESSIONS / FEES
(Please note – all are subject to change, because the schedule may change, depending on other things going on in town. For example, during football season, Friday night is not usually available for skating.)

Enjoy the traditional trick-or-treat experience at the Ghosts of Millard’s crossing event.
DATE: October 31, 2014
TIME: 6-8 p.m.
COST: $5 for adults and $3 for children.
This event is intended for children ages 12 and younger.
Activities include face painting, cupcake walk, hay ride, train ride, music and so much more!
The Ghosts of Millard’s Crossing event is a great way to step back in time and remember the concept of a neighborhood, where children could play on their own safely, because all the adults were keeping an eye out for everyone. At this event, the feeling is much the same, as children & their families can stroll at their own pace throughout the village, stopping off at each house one by one, to hear a “ghost” tell a short story or part of history from their life.
The “ghosts” are simply regular people with white face paint and they are not scary to most children.
The headless horseman comes racing through the town on his horse about every 20 minutes and that can indeed be quite thrilling but perhaps could be a bit alarming to little ones, so be prepared for this, just in case.
At each house or other building, there is candy available, and young children will have a traditional and exciting trick-or-treat night.
This is a really great event and if you have not attended in the past, give it a try.
Highly recommended!
(And, it sure beats the heck out of driving all over town to trick-or-treat at houses where you know people.)

“Audience Dress Rehearsal” of “I Hate Hamlet” will be at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, October 30, 2014. This is a great way to see fabulous live theatre at the most family-friendly affordable price possible – just $5.00 per person! Reservations for “Audience Dress Rehearsal” are not possible and advance ticket purchases unnecessary. It is fine to arrive a little early to have time for visiting with friends and finding a great place to sit to enjoy the performance.
“Audience Dress Rehearsal” plays an important role at Lamp-Lite Theatre. This is the last rehearsal opportunity for cast and crew to sharpen their delivery, timing and procedures. Traditionally, the Thursday evening BEFORE OPENING NIGHT, Lamp-Lite Theatre opens its doors to the student population of the Nacogdoches Area. For $5.00 donation students, their friends and family are invited to attend a “sneak preview” the “audience dress rehearsal” of the upcoming production. Parents and guardians are invited to accompany their youngsters.
Celebrate the Halloween season with this romantic comedy which is also a hilarious Ghost Story. John Barrymore, a dashing actor famous for his portrayal of Hamlet (in the 1920s) comes back from the beyond to coach a nervous young TV actor slated to play the same part in New York’s Shakespeare in the Park. Barrymore coaches the young actor in the art of acting and the art of seducing a woman. The delightful comedy features fighting, séances, and romance – all with a comic twist. The cast includes Tiffany Gauntt, Justin Hughes, Tim Hogle, Bill Small, LaChanda Maxie and Sarah McMullan.
