Luckily I wasn't home at the time, so they received lollies instead of a lecture on cultural imperialism :-) If Australians did make a fuss out of Halloween I think it'd end up pretty dull - our most popularly produced pumpkin has skin that is a dull greenish grey. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Apparently, the local malls have been playing on people's fears of their neighbors, and sponser a "come down to the mall and get free advert^h^h^h^h^h^hcandy!" rally. So the community building that Halloween used to be is going away. Sigh. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

They are columbian and had a lot of their friends come to trick or treat in our area. We had a group of 20 kids ages 3-7 6 milfs all dressed like jaylow teetering on heels with me an granpere bringing up the rear. It was fun. My 9 yo 1/2 filled a pillowcase.

Two jump houses, a flush tank (like a dunk tank but with a toilet tank above and a person sitting on a toilet beneath), rope bridge, bobbing for apples, loads of other games and crafts, and of course trick or treating around the buildings. We were expecting over 1,000 people. I'm sure we easily exceeded that. The place was packed. My wife was working in one of the craft rooms while I took our 2 kids and a neighbour kid around. My head was on a swivel to keep track of the three of them. 2 hours of madness and fun. Have fun, Carl Forde
