trick or treat

It seems now more than ever we  have access to a million types of candy, but some have lasted throughout the years and I feel the need to make some type of acknowledgement to their staying power.

I remember when the only thing to worry about on Halloween was whether your bag was big enough to carry all your candy and be careful not to trip on your costume when running through the yards in your mother's high heels.  Times have changed and prompted technology to get involved to keep your family safe and it's free until Halloween.

It's a little early, but I wanted to give you time to come up with an awesome costume that your kids will love and passes the safe-to-wear factor!   At least parents can feel comfortable that there is a safe SUPER fun place to trick or treat, at the Lake Superior Zoo's Boo at the Zoo!  Hurry, it's coming soon!

Some Fargo, North Dakota kids out trick or treating this Halloween will be getting a surprise from one woman this year.  She has vowed to give kids she deems 'moderately obese' a letter for their parents rather than candy.

It's that time of year again, kids love it, parents not so much because they have to come up with another custom their kids will LOVE and pass the safe-to-wear factor.  At least parents can feel comfortable that there is a safe SUPER fun place to trick or treat, at the Lake Superior Zoo's Boo at the Zoo!  Hurry, it's coming soon!

Halloween is tomorrow and once again we need to remind motorists to be mindful of increased pedestrian traffic.  Shorter, darker days make it increasingly difficult to spot pedestrians.  The MN DOT also offers tips for drivers and parents and children who are trick or treating.

Everyone thinks their neighborhood is the best for trick-or-treating. But the folks at real estate site Zillow have actually compiled a list of the best cities for scoring some ‘tricks or treats’ this Halloween. In creating its third annual Trick-or-Treat Index, Zillow considered factors such as median home values, crime rates, population density and overall “walkability” when choosing the 20 best
