I stopped into the Halloween superstore, Spirit! This year they are in Waterville at the Shaw’s Plaza and Bangor and South Portland. It is almost like a haunted house when you walk in. If you are a Halloween person, and if you are, you know what I mean by that, Spirit is your store.
There's one thing we know for sure about little kids-- they can make practically anything seem adorable. Scrunched-up, twisted sour faces? Check. A boppin' on a bed rendition of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'? You betcha!

This is especially true when it comes to Halloween.

I was walking around the grocery store and the pharmacy this week, doing my shopping. There is Halloween Candy everywhere! Tons of candy. Be honest, can you buy the Halloween candy now and still have it around on October 31?
The 2013 Farmers' Almanac came out last week and the weather looks cold and snowy for this winter. But the Almanac is so much more than that! Editor Peter Geiger of Lewiston, our yearly Halloween guest, knows more than anyone that many people, not just old-timers, rely on the Almanac for everything from planting crops to planning weddings!
