Last night (Halloween) our CARD group was passing out treat to the children who stopped at our designated spot. The town was full of people and cars, and I remarked to someone that this is probably how it used to be back in the "glory days" (50's and 60's). It was good to see that! Also, I was impressed by the parents accompanying their children. Almost all the children were with parents, grandparents, or other adults in charge. Many of the children said thank you for what they received, and all of them were polite. There were several groups giving out treats in order to encourage a safe and happy Halloween for the children.
A couple of younger kids actually remembered me from school and claimed they were sorry I had retired, because they had wanted to be in my class. That is a shocker!
One of our group was actually in costume (her clown attire)! And we were able to discuss some business toward the end of our stint. We are looking forward to preparing a basket for the Senior Citizens' silent auction at their Christmas dinner, and to the FFA Christmas Craft Show and Christmas Kick-Off for Crothersville, a joint event on November 22. Aunt Samantha's will be having an open house that day, along with a lot of other Crothersville organizations and businesses. CARD will be sponsoring a Santa House and lights will be turned on. We're excited about the opportunity to see Crothersville working together to kick off the holiday season.
(CARD is an acronym for Crothersville Area Revitalization and Development.)

Sounds like you had fun on Halloween! I only had around 15 trick-or-treaters. Then Saturday evening was the Halloween Carnival at the gym. Julinda and the boys came over and we went to that.
