It is one of the best memories of my childhood. We lived way out in the country, surrounded by farms, so when we went out, it took a lot of time.

My dad decided to take me, my brother and two neighbor kids in his giant red and white flatbed truck. All of us got on the flatbed and sat back by the rear window. Each time he got to a house, we jumped off and ran to the door. When we were done, Dad would be waiting, and we hopped back on, then off wed go. Ill never forget the chilly autumn air on my face. It was a flatbed full of joy and laughter.

That was the most fun I ever had trick-or-treating. Love you always, Dad!Create a spooky greeting for trick-or-treaters...its simple! Paint a dried bottle gourd white and use a black felt tip pen to add a face. Arrange several in a straw-filled wagon.Debbie MuerEncino, CAOne of my fondest memories of autumn is from the late 1950s, when our elementary school had the most fabulous Halloween carnivals. The carnival took place on a Saturday afternoon, and all the kids wore their costumes. All of our mothers worked at the carnival, and they transformed the schoolyard from a sea of concrete into a playground of all types of game booths. They converted one of the classroom bungalows into a country store with all kinds of canned goods and crafts for sale.

I remember always bringing home all kinds of goodies that Id won, as well as a shimmering goldfish that I carried in a water-filled plastic bag. Those are the best childhood memories!Simple, tried & true Halloween games are fun for all ages...bobbing for apples, telling ghost stories and visiting the mad scientists lab to touch cauliflower brains and peeled grape eyeballs.Barbara BowerOrrville, OHGrowing up next door to a large Ohio farm with a family of 12 children was a wonderful experience for my siblings and me. We easily fit in and helped the neighborhood children with their chores, because playtime was not allowed until all the chores were done...feeding the cows, chickens, geese, you name it. Wed help pick the vegetables and carry them to the house to be used for the evening meal or preserved. The farm family even taught me how to preserve and can. One of my best memories is of helping pick the sweet corn.
