Perplexed by a string of grisly murders elaborately executed by the elusive mass-killer nicknamed “Buffalo Bill”, the vulnerable and untried F.B.I. trainee, Clarice Starling, is assigned by the Special Agent, Jack Crawford, to assist in the manhunt. Hoping to attain a clearer perception of the psychopathic serial killer’s modus operandi, the young investigator reluctantly accepts the help of another hideous monster: the brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic mass-murderer, Dr Hannibal Lecter. Now, with every visit to the manipulative doctor’s heavily reinforced prison cell, Clarice delves just a little bit deeper into the dark mind of a homicidal maniac; however, how far is she willing to go to unearth pure evil?

The Love the Glove Film Series’ yearly Spook-tacular continues with the hilarious and over-the-top Zombieland, starring Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Jessie Eisenberg.
With America infested with hordes of decomposing zombies from end to end, one of the few zombie-apocalypse survivors, Columbus, manages, somehow, to live to fight another day, while on his way to Ohio to check in on his family. Surrounded by mayhem and destruction, Columbus joins forces with the no-nonsense pro survivalist, Tallahassee, bent on continuing the dangerous road trip through Armageddon. However–as the band of zombie hunters is joined by the stranded girls, Wichita, and her younger sister, Little Rock–an unexpected change of plans will lead them to the last unspoilt place: the Pacific Playland amusement park in Los Angeles. Could the rumours be true, or is the odd team heading toward its demise?

2:00:pmThe Glove Education Series Presents: Birds of Prey at The Glove Theatre
The Glove Education Series flies ever onward with “Birds of Prey”, a free presentation of our fine, feathered friends led by Falcon Heart Rescue’s Deb Saltis!
Deborah Saltis is the President of Falcon Heart Rescue, Inc. a non-profit wildlife rescue and educational facility in Herkimer NY. She and Matt Perry are Co-founders of the Utica Peregrine Falcon Project, which is the spark that started the rehab/educator fire in her life. Deb went from being a non-believer of falcons nesting in downtown Utica, to being a wildlife rehabilitator and educator. The knowledge she has gained from 1000’s of hours observing and interacting with the falcons has made her a near expert in falcon behavior. Soon after starting the project, it became apparent that a closer rehab option was needed to deal with injured young falcons – the nearest one was over an hour away. Many hours of training, testing, building, learning, and licensing went into what is now a facility that rehabs many birds each year and is home to 14 educational birds as well. Even though releasing a bird back to the wild is a thrilling event, education has been the focus and the most rewarding part of her journey thus far. “Never stop learning

6:30:pmAppalachian Mountain Songs – Georgia to Main and Everything In-Between at Mayfield Presbyterian Church
The Mayfield Historical Society will host award-winning songwriters and singers Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle as they present a musical and educational program of Appalachian Mountain Songs – Georgia to Maine and Everything in-between” on Monday, October 21, 6:30 p.m. at the Mayfield Presbyterian Church, 22 N. Main St., Mayfield. Admission is free and open to the public. The Appalachian Mountains stretch from Georgia to Maine, and in history were considered the new frontier when settled by the Scotch-Irish and Germans. These groups sought freedom from government and prejudice as well as inexpensive land. Their history is both charming and dark as they struggled to survive and bring their culture with them, especially their music. The program includes eight songs with interesting narrative, about one hour, for adults and teenagers. For more information, contact president Bob Suits at 518-857-2820.
