The state legislature designated the place as the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas. Only in Ennis: Every year, Ennis hosts the Bluebonnet Trails Festival. Scream VI In the next installment, the survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City. Where I Virtually Stayed: For being so close to Dallas, it’s a little surprising what a good deal I got at the La Quinta Inn & Suites. Check out Scream VI at Galaxy Drive-In in Ennis on and get detailed info for the event - tickets, photos, video and reviews.
