Have a Happy and Safe Halloween

Halloween is a time for people of all ages to have fun and enjoy themselves. Children trick-or-treating and parents taking their children trick-or-treating will be out and about all over Tompkins County tonight.

 

I thought it might be proper to include some tips for safe and healthy trick-or-treating. As I am not an expert on the subject, I've provided a link to a list compiled by people who are (the Los Angeles Fire Department).

From all of us here at Tracking Tompkins County, have a happy Halloween.

Spooky Stories

Ithaca College's Department of Modern Languages is taking spooky to a global level.

The Department will hold the event "Spookiness Without Borders: Scary Stories from Around the World" October 30 in the Handwerker Gallery at 6:30 pm. The spooky event features readings of modern stories of both suspense and terror, all told in various languages and just in time for Halloween, of course.

The event will honor the various rituals and traditions within the cultures, taking the classroom experience one step further.

"Spookiness Without Borders: Scary Stories from Around the World" is a free event and open to all. Join the Department of Modern Languages for a night of fright and get into the Halloween spirit. Light refreshments will be served.

The map below shows where the event will be held.
