This year Halloween is on a Saturday and there will be activities in the Farmer's Market and Trick-or-Treating in the shops. We'll also have a free little Halloween give-away for anybody who comes in on Saturday.
Some customers got to reminiscing at the shop today about store bought vs home-made halloween costumes. One guy remembered putting oil on his face as a kid and rubbing coffee grounds over it for the stubble of an old man...
My mom loved halloween. She'd dress up and go to the door with a bowl of (spaghetti) guts or (onion) eyeballs or fill a rubber glove and make kids shake her hand before they got their candy. Believe it or not, kids loved coming to our house. Her friend Dot's house was the probably the best trick-or-treat place in town - they gave out hot dogs!
At my house on Saturday night, I'll have a big bowl of Reeses and Kit-Kats for all the neighborhood kids. And a pot of homemade chili to welcome my hubby back from a month in San Francisco.
Happy Halloween!
