High View Farm in Farmington is selling fresh turkeys too. You have to reserve it in advance & get pick it up on Wednesday. I was out there in Sept & had fun watching their son chase the "butcher" turkeys around
The past few years we've been giving out temporary tattoos. It seems like the kids like them pretty well. At least we haven't gotten a brick through the window.
As kids, we always did "Trick or treat for Unicef!" and were astounded that this wasn't the custom everywhere. As a grown-up, I have tried giving out Halloween pencils and gee-gaws. This year, I cringe at the thought of all the germs being passed hand to hand in candy bowls.
Just had to come back to read the suggestions and other stories - so great! I love the organic fruit lollipops and stickers ideas . . . for next year. [Sheepish grin]
And to EcoYogini: I could never forget the UNICEF boxes!! My mom used to put string through it and hang it around our necks, and everyone seemed to have a bowl of pennies by the candy. By the end of the evening, we looked like Jacob Marley ghosts, with our UNICEF boxes of coins dragging around! 8-D
Lee, I'll consider putting out a plateful of freshly-made aebleskivers tonight - pumpkin-filled, of course!
I hear you, Kat, there is much to love in these boxes. Last night we griled sweet potatoes with butter, cayenne, and leeks. fantastic.
Nice to know, Unplanned Cooking! You always have all sorts of great tips. Hoping to try making those popcorn balls this week: http://www.unplannedcooking.com/?p=1017
