By Becky BruceSALT LAKE CITY -- Twilight fever is back in a big way as the novel-turned-movie arrives on DVD Friday at midnight.
The Macey's grocery store in Sandy is pulling out all the stops. From 6 p.m. to midnight the store plans giveaways, food, prom night and even a pre-showing of the DVD before it goes on sale. [Click here for a complete list of activities planned at the Sandy Macey's party]
