This past Thursday, October 29, we went trick-or-treating in Harley for canned and non-perishable food. The food collected at the event will be donated to Mid Ohio Food Bank. Volunteer participants dressed up in amazing costumes, like the pop star Robin from “How I Met Your Mother,” Thing 1 from “The Cat in the Hat,” etc. Thursday was also the official day that all kids went out trick-or-treating. People were a little bit surprised, but were really nice to our “over-aged” trick-or-treating group. We got so many canned goods, as well as candy.
Thanks to all the nice and generous people. The house decorations were really impressive. Sometimes we scared ourselves walking pass them in the dark. It’s great to see how enthusiastic people are for Halloween.
Also, the American students taught international students about the traditions of Halloween, for example, if the porch light is on, it means that family is participating in the trick or treat event; if not, you better not knock on the doors!
Below you can see our Trick or Canning group with costumes on. What a fun and meaningful night!
Happy Halloween everyone!
