🎃 Halloween weekend: trunk-or-treats, a Scream sleepover and the Villains Ball

Hello Neighbors,

Halloweekend is here, and the whole issue is filled with spooky happenings. Want more? See our Halloween guide →

In this week's Signal:

Now open: Red Eye Barbecue — Bob Costarella's Saturday-only pop-up is now a 250-seat restaurant at Epicenter, Santa Rosa's 130,000-square-foot sports and entertainment complex, and beef cheeks are his specialty. (Sonoma Magazine)

Good eats: The Poke Truck — I hear this is the closest taste you'll get to Hawaii. Flint Weldin serves Hawaiian-style ahi poke bowls from a 12-by-8-foot trailer in Rohnert Park. (Sonoma Magazine)
