Good stuff Lise !!!!!

  For SD......If you do nothing else on Hallowe'en....you must get someone to take you for a drive up Jingle Pot Road the day after Hallowe'en.  It's wonderful.  It's a lovely winding, twisting, hilly narrow road for starters....with trees shrouded over some parts.  Everyone takes their pumpkins there after Hallowe'en night.  There are miles of them....and they are also lit the night after.

  There is also a fabulous Pub at the end of the drive that goes all out with the Hallowe'en decor.

Halloween Trick or Treat!
Starts at 3:30pm and runs until 5:30pm Trick or Treat happens 4:00 6:00 pm on Tuesday, October 31 (Halloween). FREE ADMISSION
The Yaletown Business Improvement Association (YBIA) annually partners with the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre to provide a safe and fun trick or treat route for local children and their parents in Yaletown. With the lack of detached housing in our community, the children dont have the opportunity for traditional door-to-door trick or treating...and this is where Yaletown merchants can help! Thanks to all merchants who participated over the past few years. The event is very successful with Yaletown businesses hosting over 400 children (plus their parents!). This year the YBIA will include a musical procession with the Public Dreams Society. The procession will parade the children from the community centre up to Hamilton St. to begin their trick or treating.

Is anyone going to PNE's Fright Nights?  Or doing anything?

[Lil Me]

Going to an indoor kids' carnival in a church basement on the 31st.
 
 Having an indoor Halloween party with my Beaver kids on the 29th.
   

[P.C.]

I really think that's the way to go these days, Lil Me....although I have to admit, I find it just a wee bit sad to not see the streets crawling with little munchkins all dressed up on Hallowe'en.  I guess it's just getting too dangerous.
