| 24263 | Halloween Article Contest 2015 | Well our harvest festivals always had a haunted house as well. Our gym also had a stage in it, so they would pull the curtain on the stage, and that's where the haunted house was set up. In the gym itself was all the games like ring toss, bean bag toss, darts and balloons...stuff like that. Attached to the gym was the cafeteria where bingo was held for the adults. Usually 20 games with really good prizes back in those days. You could also get refreshments there like hot dogs and stuff, and there was always a bake sale going on too. In addition to the bingo, there would be cake walks as well. The band room played host to the "disco". The lights were turned out and black lights were used and there was a DJ spinning music for dancing and stuff. In the main hallway, there was a general store set up where you could buy old fashioned candy and whatnot. And throughout the hallways there were displays set to celebrate the harvest season. Big pumpkins and various fall displays. <div><br></div><div>It was really a great time every year, and I was just talking with my wife last week about missing stuff like that. We've been actively searching out the local schools to see if any are doing anything like this. We really want to take our girls and share that type of great time with them.</div><div><br></div><div>Back in those days, that was out schools only fund raiser. We didn't sell candy, or pizza kits, or anything like that. That one night a year raised whatever extra funds the school needed. It was a much simpler time.</div> | mickyarber | Sep 21, 2015 |  |

At our church, we do a "Trunk or Treat", but since the church has a large building with a gym in it, that's where it takes place. No matter what the weather, the kids get to be in doors and go around the gym collecting candy. | mickyarber | Sep 21, 2015 | |

| 24255 | How was your day? | I picked up Mario Maker today in Walmart. Probably won't mess around with it any until next weekend though (the kids are only allowed to play on the systems on weekends). <br> | Vaporman87 | Sep 21, 2015 | |
| 24254 | How was your day? | I've been looking to stockpile old issues myself, but some of the sellers on ebay are asking ridiculous prices. I never once thought to try Amazon. Thanks for the tip. | kidcoffee | Sep 21, 2015 | |
