Halloween is a bit different here in Tulita.
The kids came by trick-or-treating on Friday the 28th. We weren’t aware that this was happening in advance, but fortunately we had a supply of cookies on hand. Here, trick-or-treaters don’t knock or ring the bell, they just open the door walk right into your house. This seems odd when you are used to living in big cities.
There was an adult Halloween dance on the Saturday. Around 1/4 of the town was there, and there were some good costumes. There were decorations, smoke machines, strobe lights, laser lights, and chips and pop for sale. We played games like musical chairs, pop the balloons, and hot potato. It was kind of like a junior high school dance, with most people sitting around the periphery not dancing. There were some very functional door prizes:
…and we won the grand prize: the TV!
I made us wolf & sheep costumes.
