Reblogged from Magnolia Library and Community Center

Four different weather apps say Saturday morning showers dry up in the afternoon. But stand by. We’ll make an official call tomorrow.

Flashlight Apple TV

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Stage Fort Park on Tuesday was busy. Apple TV’s series Flashlight was filming an episode. Lots of activity and equipment and staff were in the parking lot, beach and on the grass. It is fascinating how much goes into the production.

Kris sent me this photo of his daughter, Summer, sitting on the giraffe. Kris stated that his daughter wanted to sit on the giraffe.  Kris told me that he had to get a very tall ladder to get her up there.
