We did much the same things that are done now as far as Trick or Treating. My family, living nearly two miles from town, did not do a lot of it but we did go to grandma's place and some of the relatives homes in town. There were seldom any that came clear out to our place other than the closest friends that lived on the bench also. There was one thing however that we did back then that is seldom done now and that was to have a yearly Halloween carnival. There would be booths set up in the school gym and then lots of games involved with them. In fact one year I was married to Marie at one of those carnivals. (I still have the certificate from it as well.) They were always a lot of fun and involved other things like bobbing for apples and other such games. That was one tradition that could still be used but for some reason is probably not considered safe enough for Halloween and school children.
