Happy Halloween.

 

It's still a lot of fun for kids of ALL ages.  It gives all a chance to be creative with costume and character.

 

There has been local controversy in the past. City council was under pressure years ago to officially switch Halloween from Sunday to Saturday, remember that?  Just a few years ago there was outrage over a "seance" at a local museum.  It was cancelled.

 

Here in Moose Jaw, we've taken this controversial day and turned it into a positive.  The good people at the Hillcrest Church took the lead several years ago and started "The Better Together Food Drive".  No tricks, just treats...for the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank.

 

The brown paper bags have been delivered to local homes.  We are being asked to fill those bags with non-perishable food for those less fortunate than us.  As a community we took a day many found troubling and turned it into the BEST day of the year for the local food bank and those who need it.

 

That's the way we do it in The Friendly City!  Happy Halloween.
