We all know times have changed. A lot of parents and children would rather stay inside and have a party for Halloween than go outside in the cold to "trick or treat".
I live in a nice, quiet neighbourhood near two elementary schools. I only had about 15 kids come to the door last year.
However, there is proof that locals are celebrating the season by carving pumpkins and making jack-o-lanterns. A number of local supermarkets have sold out of pumpkins with a number of them bringing in more!
The story has been unfolding on social media with moms and dads asking friends and followers where they get a pumpkin! People with extras are sharing.
I see one local mom had two but needed four. She bought two spaghetti squashes and they worked just as well.
Hey, if you've got a garden big enough for a pumpkin patch, you might consider it next spring. Chances are you can make some money at this time next year.
Happy Halloween!
