Candy Delivery

It is traditional for children from outlying areas of Freedom and beyond to come for trick-or-treating in Freedom Village on Halloween night. Village residents can historically expect around 125 ghouls and princesses to ring their doorbells October 31st. Because this can be quite expensive for residents, Melissa Florio Nicoll proposed the idea that rural residents of Freedom who never get any trick-or-treaters donate candy to help village residents with the expense. This was advertised in the school newsletter and in Margery's town column and many people heeded the call and brought candy to the library, the designated dropoff place.

Because this idea is new to town and we got a late start, not many people who live in the village knew to come pick candy up at the library. Last week Emily and Meghan distributed candy around the neighborhood and then this weekend Nathaneal and Philip went to the houses they missed. I think it was pretty surprising to folks to have kids come to their house to bring candy to THEM!
