They stock our chow halls everyday with the “Stars & Strips: Middle East Edition”. There’s a section that gives blurbs about random things going on back in the states. I usually glance through it to see if Illinois has anything of significance going on. (Usually we don’t, by the way.)

GURNEE—Six Flags Great America is preparing to scare up some fun this fall with its 16th annual “Fright Fest” Halloween celebration. And to put the “bite” in Fright Fest this year, a live cockroach will be guests’ Ticket to Terror — and the front of the line!Courageous volunteers who opt to chow down on one of these creepy critters will be granted an instant place at the front of the line for some of Six Flags Great America’s most popular rides, haunted houses and attractions. Complete article here.
