A little town near us has a Halloween celebration in the town square. The fire fighter's set up shop in the park and all the local business pitch in and it just basically is a very safe and fun time for the kids.
I get the feeling that we live pretty close to each other. I get over 200 trick or treaters each year at my house. Last night I sat out on my porch and read "The Omnivore's Dilemma" while I handed out little pieces of processed corn syrup to the kiddies. It's an excellent book and would definitely be of interest to anyone who hunts for food. I definitely have a "live off the land" fantasy that has been pretty much limited to forcing my family to repeatedly eat various dishes made from stuff grown in my garden while in season. I think as far as I could go with raising/killing my own live protein source would be to stock a pond with fish.
