Fast Facts about Halloween!
"The observance of Halloween, which dates back to Celtic rituals
thousands of years ago, has long been associated with images of
witches, ghosts, devils and hobgoblins. In the United States, the
first official citywide Halloween celebration occurred in Anoka,
Minn., in 1921. Over the years, Halloween customs and rituals have
changed dramatically. Today, many of the young and young at heart take
a more light-spirited approach. They don scary disguises or ones that
may bring on smiles when they go door to door for treats, or attend or
host a Halloween party. "Trick or Treat!""
