Good morning from Collegeville,

Next Thursday eve is Halloween. The kids will be out going door-to-door with ice-cream pails and sacks ringing doorbells and saying “Trick or Treat”. Wikipedia posts the following, “According to many scholars, All Hallows’ Eve is a Christianized feast initially influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, and festivals of the dead with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic Samhain.”

“Typical festive Halloween activates include trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted activities, playing pranks and” …. watching the Vikings play football. Nothing is scarier than that.

I trust that in your neighborhood, there will be nothing worse than toilet paper in your trees. I plan to place a large bowl of candy on the orange crate on the lighted front porch with a “Help Yourself” sign.

The APHC show this week is live from the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee. Special guests include, The Milk Carton Kids, singer Hilary Thavis and theatre organist, Tony Thomas, plus the Royal Academy of Radio Actors with a new voice, Beth Gilleland. Saxophonist Kenni Holmen joins The Guy’s All-Star Shoe Band. Enjoy the show.
