Happy Halloween!

Hi readers,

Happy Halloween, everybody. Let’s celebrate today with some random facts from past Halloween-inspired Did You Know’s!

1. Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States are the only countries where children go trick-or-treating.
2. The tradition of carving jack-o’-lanterns started in Ireland hundreds of years ago. Irish people carved mean faces into turnips to scare bad luck away.
3. The most popular Halloween candy is chocolate!
4. Pumpkins are the world’s biggest fruit. Sometimes they grow so big that they weigh as much as grizzly bears.

I hope you all have a happy and SAFE Halloween tonight. And if you need a last-minute costume idea, check out page 16 of chickaDEE’s October issue for some quick and fun ideas! If you already do have a costume, tell us what you’re dressing up as in the comment section below!

Be safe and talk soon,
