Schedule Changes, Meet Up and More

 Hello, Friends.

We had a great Fall Break and we had our first in-person tailgate meet up for all of International Friends at CLC. While it was chilly to downright cold, we had a great time. It was great to get together and see each other in person, to share snacks, and to celebrate being together. We made new friends and our children got to meet one another. We were super happy to have 19 Friends and Family meet up! Thank you for coming. Mark your calendars for our November 17 Feast.

Carving Your Jack o Lantern and Halloween

We did not carve our pumpkins...This Wikihow To Carve a Pumpkin has great demonstration videos as well as tips for carving a pumpkin into a Jack-o-Lantern. Even seasoned carvers can learn a tip or two. Pick up a set of pumpkin carving tools from Walmart or any grocery store or drug stores. These tools can make your carving so much easier. If you want to hold off, you can often pick them up on clearance after Halloween and save them for future carving. This year Halloween is on a Monday, this means that you can start your celebration by carving over the weekend!

Pumpkin carving is not just reserved for Halloween. People carve pumpkins for Thanksgiving decorations as well as for fall weddings.

More About Pumpkins

Pumpkins are an important part of our fall fun and decorations. You may have noticed the many types of pumpkins out 

Halloween Final Preparation

Halloween is a great celebration in the United States. If you have not already noticed, people love to decorate with fun and chilling lights, spiders, ghosts, pumpkins and so much more.

Each community sets time for trick or treating. Check this schedule from Fox News to find you what time to expect visitors. Some neighborhoods or homes host hot dog roasts or coolers with adult beverages to help everyone have fun.

Turn on your porch light or decorate your house to signal that you want trick or treaters to stop by. 

By the same token, if you are taking trick or treaters out, look for homes that are decorated or have porch lights on. 

Be Safe: 

  • Be sure to look over your children's candy before allowing them to eat any treats. 
  • Be sure that all candies are store-bought and wrapped. 
  • Watch for traffic. 
  • If you are driving, watch for children.
  • Carry a flashlight to see and to be seen.
  • Keep pets safe in your home (dogs or cats love to dash out the door and join the fun).
  • Dress for the weather...Indiana weather can change quickly this time of year.

Popular places for family fun:

If you are looking for something a more, find more spooky fun on Fright Find. Some of these places are open all year. Some of the locations listed are restaurants or hotels with a good story or history.  You can enter an address and find phantom fun all over the United States.
